The 2022 Bentley Bentayga has 6 recalls, the most serious involving fuel supply module wiring that can overheat and melt the fuel pump flange, creating a fuel leak that raises the risk of fire.
The second most significant issue involves the second-row seats on 5-seat models, which may not be fully locked onto all seat rails. In a crash, an unlocked rail can allow the seat to shift, raising the risk of injury to rear occupants. A separate but related seat installation concern affects certain other model year configurations with the same underlying problem of seats not fully engaging their rails.
On the electronics side, a software error can cause the rearview camera to display a blank image when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, leaving the driver without a view of what is behind the car. There is also a documentation issue: the owner's manual incorrectly describes when the passenger airbag is active, which could lead occupants to position themselves in ways that increase injury risk if the airbag deploys.
