2001 Bentley Azure

Component

Engine And Engine Cooling:Exhaust System:Emission Control

Consequence of Defect

vehicle description: passenger vehicles. fuel vapors stored in the vehicle's evaporative emission control system could enter a body cavity behind the rocker panel on the driver's side.

Corrective Action

if vapor is emitted and collects in the cavity, the resulting air/vapor mixture could be ignited if the central window operating mechanism is activated.

Recall Notes

dealers will install a plated mild steel extension pipe to the leak detection filter of the vehicle which will ensure that any vapor emanating from the evaporative emission control system is vented to the outside of the vehicle. owner notification began april 16, 2001. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact rolls-royce at 1-800-777-6923.

1997 Bentley Azure

Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Foundation Components:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings

Consequence of Defect

two hydraulic system pipes connecting the hydraulic brake pumps to the accumulators can contact each other, resulting in a hydraulic fluid leak.

Corrective Action

chafing of the pipes can result in a fluid leak and consequent loss of braking performance.

Recall Notes

dealers will reposition the pipes to prevent contact between the two pipes.

1996 Bentley Azure

Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Foundation Components:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings

Consequence of Defect

vehicle description: passenger vehicles. the bolts attaching the lower steering column to the intermediate steering coupling can contact the brake hydraulic system pipes located in the engine compartment.

1996 Bentley Azure

Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Fluid

Consequence of Defect

an incompatibility can exist between the mineral oil supplied by castrol and the hydraulic brake system of these vehicles.

Corrective Action

the brake pedal feel can vary, especially following a prolonged period of inactivity and higher pedal pressure may be required. this condition can cause a loss of braking capability and increase the potential for a vehicle accident.

Recall Notes

dealers will drain the hydraulic system and refill the system with new mineral oil. the affected spare bottles will also be replaced.
