What is wrong

Bentley is recalling certain model year 2007-2009 arnager, arnaget, arnage rl, brooklands, and azure vehicles. There is a potential for the "b" hood ornament's retracting mechanism to become corroded. This may lead to the "b" hood ornament not retracting as intended when a vehicle is involved in a crash.

The risk

If the hood ornament does not retract, it could increase the risk of injury to a pedestrian in the event of a crash between the vehicle and the pedestrian.

The fix

Dealers will replace the retractable "b" mechanism free of charge. The safety recall began on september 27, 2010. Owners may contact bentley at 1-[removed].
