Bentley Continental GT Recall 22V177: Front Passenger Seat Belt May Lack Child-Seat Locking

NHTSA campaign 22V177, reported March 23, 2022, 25 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The front passenger seat belt in these vehicles may have been installed incorrectly, so the seat is missing its automatic locking retractor. This means the belt may not properly secure a child restraint, and the vehicles do not meet federal occupant crash protection requirements.

If a child seat is not held firmly in place, the risk of injury in a crash increases. Owners should have their vehicle checked as soon as possible, especially if a child seat is used in the front passenger position.

An authorized Bentley dealer will inspect the seat belt and replace it if needed, at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed April 22, 2022. You can contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923, and you can check your VIN for any open recalls.

The repair is normally free at an authorized dealer.
