Bentley Azure Recalls
Summary
On certain vehicles, the hood ornament's retracting mechanism may become corroded. This may lead to the hood ornament not retracting as intended when a vehicle is involved in a crash, and may increase the risk of injury to a pedestrian if struck. Correction: Dealers will replace the retractable mechanism.
Summary
On certain vehicles, fuel vapors stored in the vehicle's evaporative emission control system could enter a body cavity behind the rocker panel on the driver's side. If vapor is emitted and collects in the cavity, the resulting air/vapor mixture could be ignited if the central window operating mechanism is activated. Correction: Dealers will install a plated mild steel extension pipe to the leak detection filter of the vehicle which will ensure that any vapor emanating from the evaporative emission control system is vented to the outside.
