AFTERSALES BULLETIN
OCTOBER 1, 2018
Jaguar Land Rover
North America, LLC has informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of its intent to perform a voluntary Safety Recall on certain 2018 model year Land Rover
Discovery, Range Rover Sport, and Range Rover 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.
DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE
An issue has been identified on certain Land Rover vehicles within the listed Affected Vehicle Range where the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) feature will not be available. A warning message will not be displayed on the Instrument Cluster (IC) to inform the driver AEB is unavailable.
