What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 4 model years this bulletin names have filed 11 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 3 of them name Service Brakes — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
On July 19, 2019, with 8800 miles on my 2018 Bentley Bentayga, I took it into an authorized Bentley dealer repair shop for routine service. I was advised that the brakes, front, and back were dangerously low. There was no prior warning or indication of this problem. I had the front and back brakes replaced.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Bentley 2054862.10 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 2054862.10 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 2054862.10 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 4 model years: 2021 Bentley Bentayga, 2020 Bentley Bentayga, 2018 Bentley Bentayga, 2017 Bentley Bentayga. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
