Bentley is recalling more than 6,000 vehicles globally, including 783 in Europe and 1,892 vehicles in the U.S., over a leak in the fuel line quick connector.
The vehicles are Bentayga V-8 SUVs built between January 2018 and March 2020, Bentley spokeswoman Erin Bronner told Automotive News Europe sister publication Automotive News.
The Bentayga is Bentley's global top-seller. The Volkswagen Group subsidiary has built more than 20,000 unit of the SUV since production started in 2016.
The recalled components in the vehicle are the fuel system, gasoline hoses, lines, piping and fittings, according to a document from the U.S. NHTSA. If a leak occurs, there will be an odor of fuel and a risk of engine bay fire during ignition.
Bentley will begin notifying owners on July 31.
"Although this recall is a precautionary measure, Bentley authorized retailers will replace the existing fuel quick connect with one made of an enhanced material and, where required, also upgrade the engine cooling fan software. This will take approximately an hour," the ultraluxury automaker said in a statement.
Bronner said that there have been no reports of accidents, injuries or fires.
The supplier is Veritas Dunakiliti Kft., according to NHTSA.
