Bentley is calling back a small group of Flying Spurs over an issue that can cause the sunroof to detach.

The issue was identified by the supplier after the company changed changed its manufacturing process, resulting in glass that was not properly secured to the roof frame, allowing it to become disconnected. If this happens while the vehicle is moving, the glass can fly off and become a hazard on the road.

The affected vehicles were built between April 15, 2007 and October 31, 2008. Bentley dealers will inspect the affected models and apply new adhesive to the sunroof to make sure the connection is strong.

The recall is supposed to begin this month.
