Bentley issues recall for Flying B
Bentley has issued a global recall after a problem with the retractable Flying B was identified by a UK dealer.
The British luxury carmaker is recalling around 600 vehicles after it was found that rust could affect the mechanism which retracts the badge in a crash.
"This could increase the risk of injury to a pedestrian in the event of a crash," said the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
A Bentley UK spokesman said 298 cars are being recalled in the UK to deal with the problem.
The recall affects the Arnage, Azure and Brooklands models, from 2007-2009.
Bentley said it took the step to recall the cars after a dealer in Britain spotted the problem.
