## What is wrong

Bentley Motors, Inc. \(Bentley\) is recalling certain 2021\-2022 Bentayga, Continental GT, Flying Spur, and Continental GT Convertible vehicles.  The owner's manual incorrectly states that the air bag system will not deploy when the "Passenger Airbag On" symbol is illuminated.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."


## What can happen

The incorrect information may change how occupants position themselves in relation to the air bags, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.


## The remedy

Bentley will mail new labels to owners.  Owners may apply the label themselves or have a dealer apply the label, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed February 10, 2022.  Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1\-800\-777\-6923.  Bentley's number for this recall is RE21/43 \(RC26\).


## 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.
