Bentley Bentayga Recalls (2017-2026)
The Bentley Bentayga has been the subject of 16 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2017 to 2026 model years. They cluster mostly around the equipment, seats, and fuel system.
The Bentley Bentayga scores 85 out of 100 (grade A), one of the cleaner recall records among the vehicles we track. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 56% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 31% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 16 campaigns span 9 model years of the Bentley Bentayga. The single largest affected 3,777 vehicles, over air bags. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Bentayga problems owners report.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Bentley Bentayga may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
