What is wrong
Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain 2020-2022 Continental GT Convertible, Continental GT, and 2021-2022 Flying Spur vehicles. The front seat belt assemblies may have been incorrectly installed, resulting in the front passenger seat missing the automatic locking retractor (ALR). As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
What can happen
A missing ALR on a passenger seat belt may not properly secure a child restraint, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the affected seat belt, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 22, 2022. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923. Bentley's number for this recall is RE22/08 (RC34).
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.

| 2071006/1 | 2023-08-03. Service bulletin. Rear seatbelt - Incorrect buckle status within the DIP - New Continental GT/C and New Flying Spur. Customer statement: Incorrect rear seatbelt buckle status shown within the DIP Workshop findings Although there is no occupant evident within the rear seats (2nd row) the rear seat is shown as occupied (Figure 1). Technical background: There is no specific DTC evident for the scenario described. The issue described is evident as the rear seat belt buckles are not resistor coded The system uses a non-resistor coded buckle strategy (zero-infinity or open-closed buckle) for the rear seats. In correct operation, a fastened seatbelt is open circuit and an un-fastened seatbelt is closed circuit If harness damage is present or an electrical connector joint is not properly engaged, an unintended open circuit occurs. This will give an incorrect buckle status reading within the DIP The advice within this TPI should be referred to first before conducting any further diagnosis or disassembly of the vehicles interior Previous assembly/disassembly may have caused an unintentional open circuit when operatives have been working on or around the rear seat belt assemblies. |
