Questions and answers

  • What is the specific issue with the affected vehicles?

The small number of affected vehicles may have an adhesive bond between the sunroof and the vehicle body, which does not meet the specification.  This has occurred because an incorrect rework procedure was used during vehicle Production.

  • What repercussions does the fault have?

Although we have not seen any customer cars affected, it is possible that the sunroof glass could become completely detached from the vehicle body on Continental GT vehicles, or the sunroof assembly could become completely detached from the vehicle body on Flying Spur vehicles. Should this occur on either vehicle, there would be a risk of a crash to following traffic or injury to other road users.

  • Which vehicles are affected?

A very small number of specific cars are affected, seven Bentley Continental GT models and two Flying Spur models, built between October 2019 and February 2020.

  • Can customers continue to drive the cars?

We encourage customers to arrange an appointment with their retailer as soon as possible.  We strongly recommend that, until this recall action has been carried out, the vehicle be driven at moderate speeds and high speeds avoided.

  • What is the fix?

The sunroof glass (Continental GT) or sunroof frame (Flying Spur) will be fixed to the vehicle using the approved bonding products and procedure.  This procedure will be carried out free of charge and will take approximately 4hrs for Continental GT and 12hrs for Flying Spur.

  • Do I have to make an appointment?

Yes, that’s important. Please contact your retailer immediately.

 

Technical background

The adhesive used to install the sunroof glass or sunroof assembly (depending on model type) at the time of production on a very small number of cars was specified incorrectly
