Aftersales 22-032 To: Parts & Service Subject: April 1, 2022 Bentley Bulletin RECALL CAMPAIGN – Bentley Continental GT, Continental GT Convertible and Flying Spur Incorrect Seat Belt Fitted Recall (RE22/08) Bentley Motors, Inc., 2003 Edmund Halley Drive, Reston, VA 20191 Page 1 of 2 I am writing to advise you that Bentley Motors, Inc. has determined a non-compliance to FMVSS 208 may exist on specific Bentley Continental GT, Continental GT Convertible and Flying Spur vehicles manufactured between August, 2019 and September, 2021. This letter will provide you with all of the information to explain why this recall is being initiated, the actions you are required to take and provide you with the appropriate administrative details. Bentley has discovered that incorrect front passenger seat belt assemblies without an automatic locking retractor (ALR) function may have been installed to specific vehicles during the production process. If the incorrect front passenger seat belt assemblies without an automatic locking retractor (ALR) function have been installed, the child restraint system may not be secured properly when fitting the child restraint system solely with the seat belt. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208 (FMVSS208), “Occupant Crash Protection”. This issue does not impact the compliance or functionality of the seat belt assemblies with respect to their normal use by adult passengers or use of the ISOFIX / LATCH system to secure child restraint seats. Bentley Motors, Inc. is not aware of any occurrences or accidents relating to this on customer vehicles, but is undertaking this action as a precautionary measure. There are 25 affected vehicles in the US and 2 in Canada.

However, this issue does not impact the compliance or functionality of the seat belt assemblies with respect to their normal use by adult passengers or use of the ISOFIX / LATCH system to secure child restraint seats, therefore the vehicle can be continued to be used until the seatbelt is in stock IMPORTANT: Ensure the customer is aware of this prior to the customer taking the vehicle away Parts supply The required replacement parts should be ordered from Bentley Motors Limited Crewe or through your regional Bentley parts distribution centre Parts despatch control Not applicable Questions and answers What is the specific issue with the affected vehicles? Bentley has discovered that incorrect front passenger seat belt assemblies without an automatic locking retractor (ALR) function may have been installed to specific vehicles during the production process What repercussions does the fault have? If the incorrect front passenger seat belt assemblies without an automatic locking retractor (ALR) function have been installed, the child restraint system may not be secured properly when fitting the child restraint system solely with the seat belt. In addition to the potential safety risk, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208 (FMVSS208), “Occupant Crash Protection”. This issue does not impact the compliance or functionality of the seat belt assemblies with respect to their normal use by adult passengers, or use of the ISOFIX / LATCH system to secure child restraint seats. Which vehicles are affected? This issue only potentially affects specific Continental GT, GT Convertible and Flying Spur vehicles built between June 2018 and October 2021. Are all models affected by the fault? No, this issue only affects a specific number of Continental and Flying Spur vehicles only. The affected vehicles have been identified using supplier and manufacturing records. Vehicles not included in this recall have been fitted with the correct specification seat belts. Can customers continue to drive the cars? Yes, however, we encourage customers to arrange an appointment with their retailer as soon as possible. If using the retractor locking mechanism to secure a child seat in the vehicle, we recommend fitting the child seat on an outer, rear seat of the vehicle until the recall action has been carried out. This issue does not impact the compliance or functionality of the seat belt assemblies with respect to their normal use by adult passengers or use of the ISOFIX / LATCH system to secure child restraint seats. What is the fix? Bentley authorised retailers will inspect the affected front seat belt assemblies and, if necessary, replace one or both affected seat belts free of charge. If a seat belt requires replacing, it will take approximately one hour per seat belt to complete. Do I have to make an appointment? Yes, that’s important. Please contact your retailer immediately.

Vehicles have been identified by comparing Bentley manufacturing records to supplier serial numbers. Vehicles not included in this recall have been fitted with the correct specification seat belts. There are 6 20-22MY Bentley Continental GT affected Production Dates : AUG 23, 2019 – JUL 23, 2021 VIN Range 1 : Begin : SCBCG2ZG1LC075736 End : SCBCG2ZG1NC091373 ✔ Not sequential Description of Noncompliance : Description of the Noncompliance : Bentley has discovered that incorrect seat belt assemblies may have been installed for the front seating positions on certain vehicles, as follows: – The driver’s seating position may be equipped with an automatic locking retractor (ALR) seat belt. – The front passenger seating position may be equipped with a seat belt that is missing the required automatic locking retractor (ALR) function. FMVSS 1 : 208 – Occupant crash protection FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : Without the ALR function present, an owner using the seat belt would not be able to properly secure a child restraint in the front passenger position, putting the occupant of the child seat at risk of injury in a crash. Description of the Cause : There are two different causes for the affected population of vehicles:- 1) Bentley – For 2 vehicles, scanned label data indicates the incorrect specification of seat belt for the specific seating position may have been fitted to the vehicle (e.g. a non-ALR seat belt may have been fitted to the passenger seating position) 2) Supplier – For 23 vehicles, the supplier is unable to confirm the part number from Bentley’s scanned label data (i.e. there is no data to confirm which specification of seat belt has been fitted) Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : A vehicle owner who elects to use the seat belt instead of the LATCH system to secure a child restraint seat will notice that the seat belt does not lock and also the absence of the audible clicking noise made when the ALR function is activated.
