Bentley has recalled the Continental GT and Continental GT Convertible to fix a problem with the front power seats.
“Due to a software issue, when the front seat height is lowered the seat may also move rearwards, which could result in trapping a rear occupant’s legs,” the recall notice says.
“In the event of an accident, if the rear occupant’s legs are trapped, this could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.”
- A total of 379 cars are included in the recall campaign
- A VIN list of affected vehicles is attached here
- The original recall notice is attached here
Bentley will contact owners of the affected cars to arrange a free fix.
