The 2018 Bentley Bentayga has 5 recalls, the most serious involving fuel supply module wiring that can overheat and melt the surrounding flange, causing a fuel leak that raises the risk of fire.
Two recalls address third-row seat belt attachment on vehicles equipped with third-row seats: the bolts anchoring the seat belts to the rear pillar may be too short, and a separate upper attachment point may also fail to hold in a crash, leaving rear occupants unrestrained. Side curtain airbags on certain vehicles may not fully inflate in a crash, reducing protection for occupants in a side impact. There is also a visibility concern: the rearview camera image may be obstructed or take longer than two seconds to appear when reverse is selected, reducing the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle while backing up.
