This page covers 4 recalls and EPA fuel economy for the 2023 Bentley Bentayga.
17–20 mpg combined
11.8–13.8 L/100km
Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD
Fuel economy data from fueleconomy.gov (EPA / U.S. Dept. of Energy). Annual cost based on 15,000 mi/yr at 55% city driving and current fuel prices. MPG is U.S. gallons; L/100km converted. Ranges reflect the 2 tested variants for this model year.
Recalls 1 and 3 describe the same underlying defect (high-voltage battery overheating on PHEV models) filed across multiple campaigns. I'll treat those as one issue.
The 2023 Bentley Bentayga has 4 recalls, the most serious being two separate fire risks: a high-voltage battery that can overheat during charging on plug-in hybrid models, and a fuel supply module where wiring can overheat and melt the flange, allowing fuel to leak near potential ignition sources.
On the safety equipment side, certain five-seat models may have second-row seats that were not fully locked onto all seat rails during installation. In a crash, an unsecured rail can allow the seat to shift, reducing the protection the seat and seatbelt can provide to rear passengers. The fuel leak and battery overheating risks both carry fire potential, though through different mechanisms: one involves the gasoline fuel system and the other the high-voltage charging system unique to the hybrid powertrain.
