Recall 03V127000 · manufacturer campaign RE0302
Steering › Hydraulic Power Assist › Hose, Piping, And Connections — Bentley · reported 1 Apr 2003 · 37 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
THE FLEXIBLE HOSE CARRYING CENTRAL HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FLUID BETWEEN THE REGULATOR AND THE ACCUMULATOR COULD LEAK.
The risk
LEAKING FLUID COULD DEPLETE THE RESERVOIR AND CAUSE A LOSS OF POWER ASSIST TO THE STEERING AND BRAKING SYSTEMS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE HOSE. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN APRIL 7, 2003. 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 BENTLEY AT 1-800-777-6923.
CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
