Bentley Flying Spur Recall 20V452: Rear camera image can blur, raising crash risk

NHTSA campaign 20V452, reported August 3, 2020, 102 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Moisture can get into the holder for the rear top view camera on certain 2020 Bentley Flying Spur vehicles. When water gets in, the clarity of the rear view camera image can drop, and the vehicle does not meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111 for rearview mirrors.

A weaker camera image can reduce the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash.

Bentley will notify owners, and authorized dealers will modify the top view camera holder to improve its water drainage. The repair is free of charge. Owners can contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923, and can check their vehicle identification number for open recalls.
