## What is wrong

Bentley Motors, Inc. \(Bentley\) is recalling certain 2020\-2021 Continental GTC vehicles.  Due to a sharp edge on the air bag deflector bracket, the seat air bags may tear during deployment.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 214, "Side Impact Protection," and 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."


## What can happen

A torn air bag may not adequately protect an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Dealers will inspect the affected front seats and, if necessary, remove the sharp edge on the airbag deflector bracket rivet, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed April 17, 2023.  Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1\-800\-77\-6923.  Bentley's number for this recall is RE23/03\(RC68\).
