Steering Vehicle recall #19V863000 · 2019 · 229 vehicles
What's wrong: Bentley motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain 2017-2018 continental supersports vehicles. The power assisted steering (pas) cooler pipe May be the incorrect size, allowing the cooler hose to detach and leak power steering fluid.
Why it matters: A power steering fluid leak May cause a loss of vehicle control, or a hazard to following traffic, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, the fluid leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
The fix: Bentley will notify the owners, and dealers will replace the pas cooler pipe, free of charge. The recall began January 7, 2020.
