## What is wrong

Bentley Motors, Inc. \(Bentley\) is recalling certain 2021 Bentayga vehicles.  The front passenger seat belt automatic locking retractors may deactivate early, which can prevent the child restraint system from securing properly.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicles Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."


## What can happen

An unsecured child restraint system can increase the risk of injury during a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will inspect the front passenger seat belt assemblies, and if necessary, replace the seat belts free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed on September 30, 2021.  Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1\-800\-777\-6923.  Bentley's number for this recall is RE21/31 \(RC13\).


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
