Summary
Jaguar
Land Rover
North America, LLC (Land Rover
) is recalling certain 2020 Range Rover Evoque non-PHEV vehicles equipped with 18-inch wheels. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) recommended pressure has been set incorrectly in the instrument cluster. As a result, the TPMS warning light will not illuminate when tire pressure reaches 25% below the cold inflation pressure stated on the tire placard. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, “Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems.”
Remedy
Land Rover
will notify owners, and dealers will update the instrument cluster software, free of charge. The recall began September 24, 2020. Owners may contact Land Rover
customer service at 1-800-369-1000. Land Rover
’s number for this recall is N486.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

AFTERSALES BULLETINSEPTEMBER 18, 2020 |
Jaguar
Land Rover
North America, LLC has informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of its intent to perform a 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 $22,329.00 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 NAS20.09.003.
DESCRIPTION OF DEFECT
An issue has been identified on certain 2020 model year Land Rover
Range Rover Evoque vehicles within the listed Affected Vehicle Range where the Tire Pressure Monitoring System pressure has not been set correctly in the Instrument Panel Cluster. The set Instrument Panel Cluster stored pressures are used by the Tire Pressure Monitoring System to determine pressure thresholds against which Tire Pressure Monitoring System warning system activation should occur. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System will not illuminate the warning telltale at the correct pressure when the tire pressure is 25% below the manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressure as stated on the Tire Placard. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System set pressure on the Instrument Panel Cluster does not correspond with the correct information on the Tire Placard.
Vehicles in this condition will not meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) 138 Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE
New Range Rover Evoque (LZ; with 18” wheels)
Model Year: …………….. 2020
VIN: …………………………… SALZJ2FX3LH071163-SALZJ2FX6LH103507
A total of 1,285 vehicles are potentially involved in the USA and Federalized Territories. Visit the British Brands Sales Suite (BBSS) website for a list of affected new vehicles at your retailer.
EFFECT ON VEHICLE OPERATION
Operating a vehicle with tires at low inflation pressures can contribute to separation of the tire tread. If the tread separates from the tire, the driver can lose control of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.
SERVICE PROGRAM / REWORK ACTION
Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to an authorized Land Rover
retailer to update the Tire Pressure Monitor Module (TPM) software to the latest level.
There will be no charge to owners for this action.
OWNER NOTIFICATION
Owner notification is expected to occur on or before the week of October 12, 2020.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
Check DDW to ensure that the vehicle is affected by this Program 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. Affected vehicles already in the hands of customers should be updated at the next available opportunity.
Jaguar
Land Rover
North America recommends that affected sales demonstrator and loaner vehicles are repaired before use and that used vehicles are repaired before sale. Retailers who choose to proceed against this recommendation, where legally permitted, must clearly and conspicuously disclose the open recall to the applicable customers.

Range Rover Evoque
Model Year: 2020
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Recall Number: 20V-517
Dear Range Rover Evoque Owner,
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Land Rover
has determined that certain 2020 model year Land Rover
Range Rover Evoque vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138, ‘Tire Pressure Monitoring System’.
Your vehicle is included in this Recall action.
What is the reason for this program?
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System pressure has not been set correctly in the Instrument Panel Cluster. The set Instrument Panel Cluster stored pressures are used by the Tire Pressure Monitoring System to determine pressure thresholds against which Tire Pressure Monitoring System warning system activation should occur. As a result, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System will not illuminate the warning light at the correct pressure when the tire pressure is 25% below the manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressure as stated on the Tire Placard. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System set pressure on the Instrument Panel Cluster does not match the correct information on the Tire Placard.
Vehicles in this condition will not meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138, ‘Tire Pressure Monitoring System’.
Unknowingly operating a vehicle with tires at low inflation pressures can contribute to separation of the tire tread. If the tread separates from the tire, the driver can lose control of the vehicle, possibly resulting in a crash.
What will Land Rover
and your authorized Land Rover
retailer do?
Land Rover
is carrying out a recall of the vehicles mentioned above. An authorized Land Rover
retailer will update the Tire Pressure Monitor Module (TPM) software to the latest level.
