Bentley is recalling 2018-2019 Continental GT and Continental GTC due to an issue with the water pump.
“Due to a design defect, the water pump can create a vacuum within the electrical area of the pump. This could cause liquid from the coolant system to permeate the housing of the water pump and damage the electrical circuitry which could cause a vehicle fire,” Bentley says in its recall notice.
“In the event that the Engine Management Light illuminates, or smoke is detected, owners should stop the vehicle where it is safe to do so, turn off the ignition, evacuate the vehicle and contact your nearest retailer immediately.”
- A total of 194 vehicles are affected from 2018-2019
- The VIN list is attached here
- The original recall notice is attached here
If you own an affected vehicle, Bentley says you should contact your authorised Bentley dealer to schedule an appointment for a free inspection and repair.
