What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 9 model years this bulletin names have filed 7 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 1 of them name Fuel/Propulsion System — 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 Monday December 4, 2023, at about 1:30pm, it was a normal sunny day, I was headed eastbound on . I was coming to a stop at the intersection of Airport Rd. I was in the turn lane to go north on Airport Rd. No one was in front of me. As I was almost stopped, only going one or two mph, the car suddenly lurched forward.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Bentley 2066872/5 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 2066872/5 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 2066872/5 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 12 model years: 2023 Bentley Continental, 2022 Bentley Continental, 2021 Bentley Continental, 2020 Bentley Continental GT Convertible, 2018 Bentley Continental GT Convertible, 2023 Bentley Flying Spur and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
