What is wrong
Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain 2026 Continental GT and Continental GTC vehicles. The front axles may have been assembled with an incorrect shorter driveshaft, which can cause the hub securing nut to loosen over time.
The risk
A loose hub securing nut can cause vibration and a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Why power train defects matter: A power train defect can cause a loss of drive power, an unexpected gear change, or a vehicle that rolls after being put in Park.
The remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the front axle driveshaft as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 8, 2026. Owners may contact Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923. Bentley's number for this recall is RE26/14. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning June 8, 2026.
About the power train

Check by VIN
A campaign rarely covers every vehicle of a model year. Enter your 17-character VIN to find the recall campaigns filed for your make, model and model year. The VIN is on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the door-jamb label, and on your registration and insurance documents.
Is a recall still open on your vehicle? Only NHTSA’s official VIN check can say whether a campaign applies to your exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been done.
Your VIN is decoded with NHTSA’s public vPIC service to identify the make, model and year. It is not stored and is not added to any page address.
