Vehicle report
2017 BENTLEY MULSANNE
This model year
What the record shows
The 2017 Bentley Mulsanne is a midsize car, and the 31st model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1987 to 2020.
The EPA rated one configuration: a single 6.8-litre eight-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive only, a single transmission, Automatic (S8) and running on premium gasoline.
Combined fuel economy is 14 mpg.
The federal record holds 1 safety recall and 164 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
