  3. NHTSA campaign 04V130000

    Reported

    Fuel System, Gasoline › Fuel Injection System

    Model years 2002–2004

    On certain passenger vehicles and limousines, the fuel feed line quick connector may disengage, allowing fuel leakage.

    Consequence:
    Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
    Remedy:

  4. NHTSA campaign 03V367000

    Reported

    Fuel System, Gasoline › Delivery › Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings

    Model years 2002–2004

    On certain passenger and limousine vehicles, contact can occur between a brake pipe or fuel pipe and the antilock braking system (ABS) modulator pump. Should this happen, it could result in eventual abrasive damage to either pipe, leading to possible leakage.

    Consequence:
    This could affect the stopping distance when the brakes are applied, which could result in a crash, or a fire could result if there is leakage from the fuel line.
    Remedy:
    Dealers will inspect the installation of the affected components and, if necessary, replace it with a new one. Owner notification began October 7, 2003. Owners should contact Bentley at 1-800-777-6923.

  5. NHTSA campaign 03V127000

    Reported

    Steering › Hydraulic Power Assist › Hose, Piping, and Connections

    Model year 2003

    The flexible hose carrying central hydraulic system fluid between the regulator and the accumulator could leak.

    Consequence:
    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.
    Remedy:
    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.

How to read this recall list

This list shows every safety recall campaign NHTSA has on file for this make, model and model year. It is not specific to one vehicle: a recall often covers only vehicles built in a certain date range or with a certain part, and many of the vehicles it covers will already have been repaired.

What each recall field means
What each recall field means
FieldWhat it tells you
Campaign numberNHTSA's unique ID for the recall, such as 20V771000. Quote it to a dealer or when searching NHTSA's site.
ComponentThe system or part involved, for example air bags, brakes or electrical software.
SummaryWhat the defect or non-compliance is and which vehicles are covered.
ConsequenceThe safety risk if the problem isn't fixed.
RemedyWhat the manufacturer will do, such as a repair, replacement or software update, and whether it is free.
  • Some recalls carry an NHTSA consumer advisory, “Do Not Drive” or “Park Outside”. Follow it until the repair is done.
  • A single campaign often covers several models or model years, so the same campaign number can appear in more than one list.
  • Recalls are shown as NHTSA publishes them. Very recent campaigns may take time to appear.
