2003 Bentley Arnage Review

Recall 03V127000 started on /Date(1049173200000-0500)/.

Summary: 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.

Recall 03V367000 started on /Date(1065412800000-0400)/.

Summary: 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.
