ROLLS-Royce and Bentley cars have been put in the hot seat after having to recall almost 600 cars which have a fault with their heated seats.

Owners of the £155,000 Silver Seraph and the £145,000 Bentley Arnage, which went on sale last year, are being contacted to allow a new thermostat to be fitted to the vehicles. The prestige manufacturer says that no-one has been injured as a result of the overheating leather seats.
