THE PRE 2014 CONVERTIBLES HAVE DEFECTIVE TOP OPENING MECHANISM WHICH FAILS AFTER A FEW YEARS AND PREVENTS THE TOP FROM CLOSING PROPERLY. THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON ON ALL PRE 2014 CONVERTIBLES. THE MECHANISM WAS CHANGED IN 2014 TO AVOID THIS DEFECT BUT EARLIER MODELS WERE NOT RECALLED FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT LEAVING OWNERS WITH A VERY EXPENSIVE ($16,000) REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL ALL MODELS AT RISK AND REPLACE DEFECTIVE TOPS WITH CURRENT MECHANISM.

Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2011 Continental GT, GTC, and Flying Spur vehicles, manufactured from July 2006 through June 2010 and equipped with carbon ceramic brake discs. In the affected vehicles, the stainless steel screws that secure the brake rotors may fail after being exposed to salty conditions.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: Failure of the securing screws may result in a reduction of braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Bentley will notify owners, and dealers will replace the screws, free of charge. The safety recall began on October 22, 2013. Owners may contact Bentley at 1-800-777-6923. Bentley's number for this campaign is RE13/14.
