Transport Canada recalls

Label#2026278June 9, 2026
1,173 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the tire and loading information label does not list that there is no spare tire in both official languages. The label reads as "NONE / NON-APPLICABLE" when it should read as "NONE / AUCUN". Canadian regulations require the information to be listed on the label in both English and French. Safety Risk: This error does not affect vehicle safety. Corrective Actions: This is not a recall. Bentley has corrected the tire and loading information label for all new vehicles.
Airbag#2021762December 15, 2021
225 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the owner's manual doesn't properly describe how the passenger-front airbag works when the "Passenger Airbag On" light is on. This could cause you to misunderstand how the passenger airbag works. Safety Risk: Incorrect information about how the airbag system works could cause confusion, and create an increased risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: Bentley will send each owner a sticker to update the owner's manual with the correct description for how the passenger airbag works. They will also provide you with instructions for where to put it. If you would like help installing the label, a Bentley dealer will install it for you.
Seats And Restraints#2021445July 21, 2021
188 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the front seats may continue to automatically move downwards and rearwards after a person enters the rear seat. If this happens, a rear occupant's legs could be trapped. Safety Risk: A front seat that continues to move rearward could cause an injury for a rear passenger. Corrective Actions: Bentley will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the software for the front seats.
