BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA03/08/2020

Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain 2020 Flying Spur vehicles. Moisture can enter the Top View rear camera holder and result in a reduction in the clarity of the rear view camera image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."

Risk: A reduction in the quality of the rearview camera image can reduce the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Bentley will notify owners, and dealers will modify the top view camera holder to improve the water draining ability, free of charge. The recall began September 29, 2020. Owner may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923. Bentley's number for this recall is RE 20/21.
