EFFECT ON VEHICLE OPERATION
Materials not meeting FMVSS 302 requirements may, if subjected to a fire, burn at a faster rate than permitted allowing the spread of the fire faster than permitted. In this non-compliant condition, in the event of fire, could lead to an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants and greater damage to the vehicle.
SERVICE PROGRAM / REWORK ACTION
Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to an authorized Land Rover retailer who will replace the front row left and right seatback covers with a sewn bonded Dinamica® seat material. Unsold vehicles will have this done as part of the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) process and/or before vehicle handover to the customer. Affected vehicles already in the hands of customers must be updated at the next available opportunity.
OWNER NOTIFICATION
Owners will have received an interim letter (sample attached) by February 12, 2021, notifying them of this Recall. They will then receive a second notification by March 22, 2021, asking them to contact an authorized Land Rover
retailer, who will replace the front row left and right seatback covers. There will be no charge to owners for this action under this Program.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
Use the Jaguar Land Rover claims submission system to make sure 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.
