Bentley Continental GT Recall 21V550: Front Seats Can Trap Rear Passenger's Legs

NHTSA campaign 21V550, reported July 21, 2021, 3,647 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

During some automated front seat movements, the front seat may trap the legs of a rear passenger. This can happen when the power seat moves on its own as part of its automatic adjustment.

A rear passenger who becomes trapped by the front seat faces a higher risk of injury. If you carry passengers in the back, be aware of this condition and keep their legs clear of the front seat's path.

Dealers will update the front seat software free of charge. Owners were mailed notification letters on August 31, 2021. For questions, contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923, and check your VIN for any open recalls.
