The problem

Bentley Motors, Inc. (Bentley) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Continental GTC vehicles. Due to a sharp edge on the air bag deflector bracket, the seat air bags may tear during deployment.

The risk

A torn air bag may not adequately protect an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
