NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V585

Manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC

Components TIRES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Number of Units Affected 11,950

 

Summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Range Rover Sport vehicles equipped with 20-inch, 21-inch, or 22-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.

SECTION:

100-00

 

SUBJECT/CONCERN:

Non-Compliance Recall: Incorrect Tire Pressure Monitor Module (TPM) Settings

 

AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:

MODEL:	MODEL YEAR:	VIN:
Range Rover Sport (LW)	2020	876192-899996

MARKETS:

USA

 

CONDITION SUMMARY:

SITUATION:

An issue has been identified on certain 2020 and 2021 Model Year Range Rover Sport vehicles fitted with 20″, 21″, or 22″ wheels where the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) pressure has not been set correctly in the instrument cluster. The set instrument cluster stored pressures are employed by the TPMS to determine pressure thresholds against which TPMS warning system activation should occur. The TPMS 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 TPMS set pressure in the instrument 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.

 

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 procedure(s) detailed in this Technical Bulletin. Unsold vehicles should have this performed as part of the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) process but must have it completed prior to vehicle handover to the customer.

Affected vehicles already in the hands of customers should be updated at the next available opportunity.

 

PARTS INFORMATION:

No parts required.

 

SPECIAL TOOLS INFORMATION:

NOTIFICATION OF NON-COMPLIANCE RECALL
N494 (NHTSA 20V-585)

NAS20.10.006

RECALL

USA

AFTERSALES BULLETIN OCTOBER  08, 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 2020-2021 model year Land Rover Range Rover Sport 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.

 

DESCRIPTION OF DEFECT

A concern has been identified on certain 2020 and 2021 Model Year Range Rover Sport vehicles fitted with 20inch, 21inch and 22inch wheels, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System(TPMS) pressure has been set incorrectly in the instrument cluster. The set instrument cluster stored pressures are employed by the TPMS system to determine pressure thresholds against which TPMS warning system activation should occur. The TPMS 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 TPMS system set pressure on the instrument 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 Sport (with 20, 21″ and 22” wheels)

Model Year:  …………….. 2020 -2021
VIN:  …………………………… . SALWS2RU2LA700003 – SALWR2RY8LA749026
VIN:  ……………………………..SALWR2SU3LA876192 – SALWR2SU4LA899996
VIN:  …………………………….SALWS2RU8MA749370 – SALWR2SE8MA750968

A total of 11,159 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 November 13, 2020.

 

ACTION TO BE TAKEN

Check Jaguar Land Rover claims submission system 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.

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.

A Technical Bulletin will be published once repair instructions are finalized and any required parts have been procured.

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

Reprogramming

JLR Symptom Driven Diagnostics (SDD) for Independent Repairers: Diagnostic Software / Module programming subscriptions - without security access - can be purchased via TOPIx (From the User ID - Options Menu – Programming subscriptions – click add). Module programming - with security access - is necessary to program the IPC, BCM, ECM (PCM), KVM, as well as keys. Licensed locksmiths and independent repairers must be active members of the National Automotive Service Task Force (NASTF) Vehicle Security Professional (VSP) registry and will need to purchase a subscription to Independent Module Programming with Security Access to program these components. Currently we are only able to support yearly module programming subscriptions with security access. SDD will only support Jaguar vehicles built from 1995 MY onward.
