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.

Corrective Action

this condition can lead to a brake hydraulic fluid leak and reduced braking performance.

Recall Notes

dealers will reposition the pipes to prevent contact between the pipes and bolts, and any damaged pipes will be replaced.

1997 Bentley Continental

Component

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

Consequence of Defect

Corrective Action

this condition can lead to a brake hydraulic fluid leak and reduced braking performance.

Recall Notes

dealers will reposition the pipes to prevent contact between the pipes and bolts, and any damaged pipes will be replaced.

1997 Bentley Continental

Component

Air Bags

Consequence of Defect

the aluminum facia trim panel on the passenger supplemental restraint system (srs) air bag door can detach during air bag deployment.

Corrective Action

if this occurs during a vehicle crash, the vehicle occupants could be injured.

Recall Notes

dealers will replace the srs air bag doors with a new door using a different adhesive to attach the panel.

1996 Bentley Continental

Component

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

Consequence of Defect

Corrective Action

this condition can lead to a brake hydraulic fluid leak and reduced braking performance.

Recall Notes

dealers will reposition the pipes to prevent contact between the pipes and bolts, and any damaged pipes will be replaced.

1996 Bentley Continental

Component

Power Train:Automatic Transmission

Consequence of Defect

an incorrectly positioned wire within the electrically operated gearbox actuator can chafe against the cover causing the transmission selector fuse to blow.

Corrective Action

if the fuse blows, the driver cannot change gears or place the vehicle in park. this condition can disable the vehicle transmission, increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Recall Notes

dealers will reposition the affected wire to prevent contact with the gearbox actuator cover.

1995 Bentley Continental

Component

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

Consequence of Defect

Corrective Action

this condition can lead to a brake hydraulic fluid leak and reduced braking performance.

Recall Notes

dealers will reposition the pipes to prevent contact between the pipes and bolts, and any damaged pipes will be replaced.

1995 Bentley Continental

Component

Power Train:Automatic Transmission

Consequence of Defect

an incorrectly positioned wire within the electrically operated gearbox actuator can chafe against the cover causing the transmission selector fuse to blow.

Corrective Action

if the fuse blows, the driver cannot change gears or place the vehicle in park. this condition can disable the vehicle transmission, increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Recall Notes

dealers will reposition the affected wire to prevent contact with the gearbox actuator cover.

1995 Bentley Continental

Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic

Consequence of Defect

the lower steering column linkage heat shield can come in contact with a brake hydraulic system pipe mounted to the engine assembly, eventually resulting in a hydraulic fluid leak.

Corrective Action

if a hydraulic fluid leak occurs, warning lights indicating loss of fluid and loss of system pressure will become illuminated. front brake effectiveness will be lost, although rear braking would remain unaffected.

Recall Notes

dealers will reposition the affected hydraulic pipe and replace any damaged pipe.

1994 Bentley Continental

Component
