5 recalls across 4 model years
The Bentley Azure has 5 recalls spanning the 1996–2007 production run, with the most serious being a battery cable defect on 1996 models where insufficient clearance between the cable and the trunk's body panel can wear through the cable insulation, creating a risk of short circuit or fire.
The 1997 model year has a brake system concern where two hydraulic pipes running between the brake pumps and accumulators can rub against each other, wear through, and leak fluid, reducing braking performance. On 2000 models, fuel vapors from the evaporative emission control system can collect in a body cavity behind the driver's side rocker panel, and if the window operating mechanism is activated while vapors are present, those vapors can ignite. On 2007 models, the hood ornament's retraction mechanism can corrode and seize, preventing the ornament from folding down in a pedestrian collision as designed.
