What's wrong?
In NHTSA campaign 25V648, the high-pressure fuel pump is the part that feeds fuel to the V8 Evo engine under the pressure the engine needs to run. On 2025-2026 Bentley Continental GT, Continental GTC, and Flying Spur vehicles, that pump is secured to the engine's cylinder head with a bolted joint.
On affected engines, the final tightening step for that joint was not completed to specification. If the pump is not fastened tightly enough, the connection between the pump and the engine loses the clamping force it needs. Fuel can leak from that area instead of staying sealed inside the fuel system.
The problem is not always obvious during normal driving. You can notice a fuel smell, or the malfunction indicator lamp, often called the Check Engine Light, can turn on. Those signs are not guaranteed. The defect can remain hidden until a fuel leak occurs.

What's the safety risk?
A fuel leak near an ignition source increases the risk of a fire. A fuel smell or Check Engine Light is a reason to stop using the vehicle and call a Bentley dealer, but the leak can occur without a clear warning. Schedule the inspection soon. Repair is free at any franchised Bentley dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025-2026 Bentley Continental GT, Flying Spur, or Continental GTC is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Bentley dealer to schedule the free inspection of the high-pressure fuel-pump screw connections and any needed pump replacement.
- Bring the owner notice if Bentley mailed one. If not, reference recall number 25V648 when you call.
- Stop driving and contact the dealer if you smell fuel, see a fuel leak, or notice fuel near the V8 Evo engine area.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Bentley technician inspects the screw connections that secure the high pressure fuel pump to the V8 Evo engine. If the inspection shows the pump connection needs repair, the technician replaces the high pressure fuel pump. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the affected vehicle is still within the warranty period. Ask the service desk how that warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
