SERVICE BULLETIN

NO.: SRE18-03
(ISSUE 2)

SEC.: RECALL

MKT.: USA

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC has informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

(NHTSA) of its intent to perform a Safety Recall on certain 2018 model year Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque, and Range Rover Velar vehicles imported into the United States market. Information relating to this Recall will be posted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website.

United States Federal regulations require that retailers must be notified within a reasonable time after the manufacturer decides that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety or a noncompliance exists.

United States Federal law requires retailers to complete any outstanding safety Recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a retailer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000.00 per vehicle.

This Recall Service Bulletin serves as notification to all Land Rover retailers in the United States and Federalized Territories that any affected new vehicles may not be sold and delivered for customer use until the Recall repair is completed.

CHANGES ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE

DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE

An issue has been identified on a limited number of vehicles within the listed Affected Vehicle Range for an underhood gasoline fuel leak. The brazing of the fuel rail end caps is inconsistent and may not provide the design condition, so not sealing the fuel rail ends. Fuel vapor and liquid fuel leaks can occur over time. This can lead to a liquid fuel leak into the engine bay.

A total of 8,211 vehicles are potentially involved in the USA and Federalized Territories. Go to the Land Rover InfoTrail website for a list of affected unsold (as of 07 February 2018) vehicles.

EFFECT ON VEHICLE OPERATION

Fuel odor may be noticed by the driver and they may also observe liquid fuel if the hood is lifted. Should leaking fuel come into contact with a sufficiently hot surface, there is an increased risk of fire.

SERVICE PROGRAM / REWORK ACTION

Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to an authorized retailer who will replace the fuel rail. There will be no charge to owners for this action.

OWNER NOTIFICATION

Owner notification is expected to occur on or before 23 March 2018.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN

Use the Jaguar Land Rover claims submission system to ensure that the vehicle is affected by Program Code ‘N138’ prior to undertaking any rework action.

Retailers are required to HOLD affected new vehicles that are within your control and refrain from releasing the vehicles for new vehicle sale pending completion of the rework action. Sold vehicles will be subject to the standard Recall notification and Recall bulletin process detailing the action required for vehicles in the hands of owners. Customers may continue to drive their vehicles and there is no requirement for retailers to take any action on customer-owned vehicles until the repair is published.

A Technical Bulletin will be published once repair instructions are finalized and any required parts have been procured. This is currently expected to be available by the week of 12 March 2018.

If, prior to the publication of a Technical Bulletin, a vehicle is diagnosed with a fuel rail leak, retailers are requested to submit an EPQR attaching a short video showing the exact location of the leak

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Jaguar Land Rover North America apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
