RECALL

USA

AFTERSALES BULLETIN JULY 8, 2019

 

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC has informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of its intent to perform a voluntary Non-Compliance Recall on certain 2020 model year Land Rover Range Rover Evoque 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 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 $21,780.00 per vehicle.

This Aftersales 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.

NOTE: this bulletin updates/supersedes all previous versions. Changes are not highlighted.

TECHNICAL Q & A: NON-COMPLIANCE RECALL N341

 

Main Message: an issue has been identified with certain vehicles where the fuses in the Engine Junction Box (EJB) for the front and rear windshield washer pump may fail if the system is operated in freezing or blocked conditions.

 

Q1 Who do I contact if a member of the press contacts me about this recall?

Please ensure Press enquiries are referred to the Jaguar Land Rover North America Press Office to the attention of:.

Q2 Why is Jaguar Land Rover recalling certain Land Rover vehicles?

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 104 calls on SAE J942 test procedures. An interpretation related to SAE J942 from 1972 makes clear the requirement for washers to operate following a frozen state operation. Should the vehicle’s windshield washer system experience a frozen or blocked condition, causing the washer pump to stall, the 15A fuse in the EJB will fail. Vehicles in this condition do not meet the requirements of FMVSS 104.

 

Q3 Can you tell me more about what is wrong with the vehicles?

During cold weather testing on prototype 2020MY Range Rover Evoque vehicles in Sweden, failures of the windshield washer pump were noted by the testing team. An investigation discovered that should the windshield washer pump stall due to a frozen or blocked condition, the 15A fuse in the EJB will fail. Replacement of the 15A fuse with a 25A fuse will remedy the error state, allowing the system to operate following a frozen state.

 

Q4 How would the customer become aware of potentially having this concern?

During very cold winter conditions, customers may experience a failure of the windshield washer pump should they activate the system when frozen and then subsequently after the system has thawed.

 

Q5 Does this concern affect vehicle compliance?

Yes, this condition affects the compliance of the affected vehicles.

 

Q6 Has Jaguar Land Rover Limited received many complaints?

Jaguar Land Rover has not received retailer/authorized repairer reports relating to this matter.

Jaguar Land Rover is not aware of any accidents or injuries which have been attributed to this issue.

 

Q8 How was the condition discovered?

The condition was discovered during cold weather testing on prototype vehicles.

The issue was first investigated on 26 March, 2019

 

Q10 Is the defect leading you to any concerns regarding the reliability of a system, which is supposed to be designed and engineered for the passengers’ safety? What type of measures are you planning to take?

We have no concerns with the overall reliability of the vehicle. Jaguar Land Rover carefully monitors field data to ensure that any matters relating to safety and compliance are rigorously investigated.

 

Q11 What has Jaguar Land Rover done in production?

Production vehicles have 25A fuses installed in the EJB.

 

Q12 What will authorized Land Rover retailers do to the vehicles?

Authorized Land Rover retailers will replace the current 15A fuses with 25A fuses for the front and rear windshield washer pump. The Engine Junction Box (EJB) lid will also be renewed so the vehicle fuse amperage schematic embossed on the lid displays the correct fuse rating. A handbook supplement will also be printed and inserted into the Owner’s Handbook. .

 

Q13 Which vehicles are affected by this recall?

The following Land Rover vehicles manufactured from November 2, 2018, to April 4, 2019, are affected: SALZM2GX5LH000181-SALZP2FX0LH019195

Cost was not a factor in deciding to recall these vehicles.

 

Q17 How do I know if my Land Rover vehicle is affected?

All owners of potentially affected vehicles will shortly receive a letter inviting them to contact an authorized Land Rover retailer for the work to be carried out.

 

Q18 How long does it take for the vehicle to be inspected and repaired?

The work will be carried out as quickly and efficiently as possible in order to minimize inconvenience to customers and is expected to take no longer than 30 minutes. Due to retailer schedules, vehicles may be required for longer.

 

Q19 Can I continue to drive my vehicle safely until it has been recalled?
