What it saysFluid leak from front air spring. NHTSA’s full summary ↓
Bentley filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated May 8, 2026, received Jun 3, 2026, about the suspension. It names 14 model years (2018–2024). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Bentley 2054635/8 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the 2054635/8 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does 2054635/8 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 14 model years: 2024 Bentley Continental, 2023 Bentley Continental, 2022 Bentley Continental, 2021 Bentley Continental, 2020 Bentley Continental GT Convertible, 2018 Bentley Continental GT Convertible and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
