Call-up events usually apply to hundreds or thousands of models, but in the case of the Bentley, it can also be announced for a single car.

Convening events are nothing special in the world of the automotive industry. Carmakers invest huge sums in the development and inspection of their products, but sometimes anyone can make a mistake. However, it is funny to watch what a mistake looks like in the case of a regular high-volume car manufacturer and in the form of an exclusive manufacturer, such as Bugatti or Bentley.
In the case of normal cars, convening events are usually announced for several thousand cars, but convening offices for hundreds of thousands of cars are no exception. In the case of premium brands, however, the call can only apply to a few cars, as recently demonstrated by Bugatti and now Bentley.

According to a report by the US Road Safety Authority NHTSA, the Bentley brand has announced a call for a single piece of the Flying Spur from 2020. The reason for the call is cited as the risk of a poorly welded tank, which Bentley supplies to an external company. In fact, this is not even the fault of the premium manufacturer itself.
„During the production process at the fuel tank supplier, the tank welding process did not have to be performed according to the relevant specifications, “States the justification of the convening event. “Therefore, the long-term durability of the fuel tank cannot be guaranteed.“

In particular, there should be a problem with a possibly insufficiently welded plastic component of the fuel tank, which is a problem that is not worth underestimating. A bad weld could lead to fuel leakage and consequently a fire. The owner of the affected vehicle should be contacted in the near future and his car will be repaired free of charge by changing the tank.
