The wording we hold for 26V330 · how the whole register is watched
119 days after this was filed with the regulator, the register still carries no date for the letter to owners. The sixty days 49 CFR 577.7 allows have passed. A blank there is a gap in the record, which is not the same as a gap in the post: where this maker stands on the sixty days.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Bentley Continental GT, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
