Bentley Recalls ONE 2020 Flying Spur, Will Contact Its Owner This Month

Two days after Bentley discovered an issue with a single 2020 Flying Spur, its Pre-Product Safety Committee got together on January 21, and almost a month later, they decided to conduct a safety recall.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) explains that a single luxury sedan was discovered to have been assembled with a potentially faulty fuel tank. The part may not have been welded properly by the supplier, Magna Steyr in Austria, during production, and it could leak fuel over time, which, in the presence of an ignition source, might lead to a fire.

The only 2020 Flying Spur included in this recall was built on August 30, 2020, and its owner will be contacted by the automaker on March 12, one week after informing its dealers of the issue. Subsequently, they will advise them to set up an appointment with an authorized dealer, whose technicians will inspect the fuel tank and replace it. Since the car is still covered by the factory warranty, Bentley will not offer a reimbursement program under this recall, and all work will be performed free of charge.

Bentley’s official number for this recall is RE21/07 (RB88), and the owner will have to use it should they want to get in touch with the company’s customer service, at 1-800-777-6923, in order to find out more about the safety campaign issued for their ride. Moreover, they can also reach out to the NHTSA’s Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
