Bentley just dropped a bombshell: they’re recalling a handful of their pricey 2025 and 2026 Continental GT, GTC, and Flying Spur rides over a gnarly fuel leak that could torch the whole thing.

Turns out, paperwork from the NHTSA shows some of these beasts—the ones packing Porsche-built twin-turbo V8s—might have fuel pump bolts that weren’t cranked down tight enough. One loose screw, and suddenly you’ve got premium unleaded painting the pavement, a one-way ticket to flamesville.
We’re talking about a tiny batch here—17 cars total Stateside, with 13 Contis and four Flying Spurs caught in the crossfire, all slapped together between mid-2024 and late 2025. Porsche rang the alarm first after spotting the glitch in early September last year, then ironed out their assembly line jitters pronto.
Dealers got the memo: torque-check four key screws on that pump. If they’re shy of 18 Newton-meters? Free swap, no arguments. Count on about two hours in the shop, max. Owners should expect mail from Bentley before Halloween, with VINs getting blasted online and in the NHTSA’s files under code 25V648.
Funny how even these quarter-million-dollar land yachts—hybrid tech, hand-stitched leather, the works—still hiccup like any other factory job. Maybe that’s the real luxury: knowing money can’t buy perfection.
