Bentley Continental GT Recalls (2010-2026)
The Bentley Continental GT has been the subject of 8 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2010 to 2026 model years. They cluster mostly around the electrical system, fuel system, and seat belts.
The Bentley Continental GT scores 70 out of 100 (grade B), a better-than-average recall record. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 75% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 25% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 8 campaigns span 10 model years of the Bentley Continental GT. The single largest affected 7,778 vehicles, over electrical system. 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 Continental GT 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 Continental GT 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.
