## What is wrong

Bentley Motors, Inc. \(Bentley\) is recalling certain model year 2017 Bentayga vehicles manufactured March 1, 2016, to September 30, 2016.  During the assembly process, the affected vehicles may not have had the seat mechanism and instrument panel joints properly tightened.


## What can happen

If the seat mechanism and instrument panel joints were not tightened, they can loosen, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.


## The remedy

Bentley will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and tighten the seat mechanism and instrument panel joints, as necessary, free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin in January 2017.  Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1\-800\-777\-6923.  Bentley's number for this recall is RE16/32.
