The Bentley Bentayga Hybrid has conducted a nationwide product safety recall to address a potential fire hazard.
“Due to a hardware defect, the high-voltage battery may discharge while the vehicle is charging. In this case, it could overheat and cause a vehicle fire,” Bentley’s recall notice says.
“A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users, bystanders and/or property damage.”
