Concern

Risk of fire

Defect, as DVSA words it

There is a possibility that the bolted connection of the battery cable where it passes through the bulkhead may be loose on a small number of vehicles. In most instances the customer is unable to start the engine. However in very rare cases if the battery is significantly discharged and the vehicle is being operated under increased electrical load a loose electrical connection can overheat whilst the vehicle is in use. If the above circumstances occur in very rare cases there could be a fire.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the original nut with a prevailing torque nut and tightened to the correct torque.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because the reference DVSA lists is too short to match safely. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

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.
