Bentley recalls 2011–2014 Continental and Flying Spur over battery cable fault
Bentley is recalling certain Continental GT, GTC and Flying Spur models built from 2011 to 2014 due to a loose battery cable connection that could pose a safety risk.
Bentley has issued a recall for Continental GT, Continental GTC and Flying Spur models produced between February 2011 and June 2014, citing a loose battery cable connection that could affect vehicle safety. The company will contact affected owners to arrange free repairs at its dealerships.
Scope of the recall
The recall covers Continental GT coupés, GTC convertibles and Flying Spur saloons built over a three-year period. According to Bentley, the problem stems from a bolted connection for a battery cable joint that may be loose as it passes through the front bulkhead. If left unaddressed, this could potentially lead to electrical issues or increased fire risk, though no incidents have been reported publicly.
Bentley will replace the affected battery cable connection system with an updated design. The repair is expected to take around two hours per car and will be carried out free of charge. Owners will be notified directly by their local Bentley dealer to schedule the necessary work.
Which models are affected?
- Bentley Continental GT (2011–2014)
- Bentley Continental GTC (2011–2014)
- Bentley Flying Spur (2011–2014)
Mulsanne models and any Bentleys built outside the specified production window are not included in this recall. The company has not announced any related recalls for other models.
What owners should do
Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by Bentley to arrange an appointment for the repair. The work will be completed at no cost. Bentley recommends that owners respond promptly to recall notices to ensure continued safety and reliability of their vehicles.
