What's wrong?
The rear entertainment screen in a 2021-2023 Bentley Flying Spur is held in the back of the front seat by a retention bracket inside the shoulder moulding. That bracket is the lock point that keeps the screen seated in the seatback while the screen is used and while the vehicle is moving.
On affected Flying Spur vehicles, the bracket was installed in the wrong orientation because of a supplier process failure. If the bracket is upside down, missing, or reversed, the screen assembly can look present but lack the intended locking retention. In a crash, a screen that is not retained correctly can move from its mounted position instead of staying secured in the seatback.
What you notice depends on how the bracket was fitted. If it is upside down or missing, the screen should have no locking retention and can fail to operate correctly. If it is fitted back to front, there is unlikely to be a warning sign before a crash because the screen can feel secure and operate correctly.
Who's affected?
The same shoulder moulding that carries the screen-retention bracket is involved across all Flying Spur years in this recall.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific sedan is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the screen bracket is missing or installed upside down, the screen can lack locking retention and fail to work correctly. A backward bracket can feel secure in normal use, but the screen can become a projectile during a crash and increase injury risk. Repair is free at any franchised Bentley dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021-2023 Bentley Flying Spur is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Bentley dealer to schedule the free inspection and any needed retention-bracket replacement that secures the rear entertainment screens in the front seats.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 23V314 when you call.
- Drive with added caution until the inspection is complete, since an incorrectly installed screen bracket can let the entertainment screen become a projectile during a crash.
- Call Bentley customer service at 1-800-777-6923 with questions about scheduling or recall number 23V314.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Bentley technician inspects the rear entertainment screen retention brackets in both front seats and replaces any bracket that was installed incorrectly. The inspection, replacement parts, and labor are free under recall 23V314. If you already paid for a related retention bracket repair before the recall work, contact Bentley customer service or ask the dealer service desk how to submit documentation under Bentley's reimbursement plan.
