Wheel Fault Leads to Bentley Recall

In the US the NHTSA has issued a recall notice for several types of wheel fitted to vehicles produced by luxury carmaker Bentley. The wheels in question were fitted to Bentley’s Arnage R, Arnage RL and Arnage T in 2005 and 2006, and it has been reported that on certain vehicles the road wheel fixing bolts may be ‘dimensionally incorrect,’ with the potential existing for these bolts to become loose. The NHTSA warns that this problem has the potential to cause the road wheel to become detached from the hub, increasing the risk of a crash.

Bentley dealers will replace all wheel bolts free of charge on these models. The recall of affected Bentley vehicles began on March 1.
