Due to a design defect, the wiring harness within the fuel tank may overheat and melt the fuel inlet flange material. If this occurs fuel may leak, and if exposed to an external ignition source result in a vehicle fire.
What are the hazards?
A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users or bystanders and/or damage to property.
What should consumers do?

Note: If the relevant warning lamp illuminates in the instrument cluster or the smell of fuel is noticed around the vehicle (e.g. after filing the fuel tank with petrol) owners should contact their local Bentley dealer immediately.
