A world-wide recall of Bentley Continentals has been issued. The recall affects all of the over 33,000 Continentals that were manufactured between March 2003 to March 2008. All four of the Continental models will require modifications due to the recall.

The recall has been issued due to a faulty fuel filter. Road salt can eat thorough the housing, causing it to fail. A failure of the fuel filter can result in leaking fuel and a potential fire risk.

No fuel fires have been reported and Bentley is conducting the recall voluntarily.

Bentley representatives have stated that the road salt used on icy roads has caused the fuel filter to rust and fail. So far, thirty-one Bentleys have been affected by fuel filter corrosion.

Bentley has developed a new fuel filter, with added protection against road salt, which they will use to replace the defective one.

Car wreck attorneys are working on cases in which serious injuries and fatalities have occurred due to defective vehicles.
