United States Federal Law requires retailers/authorized repairers to complete any outstanding Safety Recall before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a retailer/authorized repairer could result in a maximum civil penalty of up to $22,992.00 USD per violation and up to $114,954,525.00 USD for a related series of violations. This Safety Recall serves as notification to all retailers/authorized repairers in the United States and Federalized Territories that any affected new vehicles may not be sold and delivered for customer use until the Safety Recall is completed.
JLR North America, LLC recommends that affected sales demonstrator and loaner vehicles are repaired before use, and that used vehicles are repaired before sale. Retailers/authorized repairers who choose to proceed against this recommendation, where legally permitted, must clearly and conspicuously disclose the open Safety Recall notice to the applicable customers.

Chronology :
Following a new model introduction “Fresh Eyes” review in early April 2022, the inspected vehicle was found to have both front crash sensor fasteners incorrectly installed. A plant wide investigation was instigated and culminated in a Stop Shipment issued on April 5, 2022. Further assessment of vehicle disposition revealed that there was a possibility of vehicles being affected beyond the control of the plant. Jaguar
Land Rover
opened a Product Safety and Compliance Committee (PSCC) investigation that was reviewed at the PSCC meeting on April 20, 2022.
The plant based teams were assigned responsibility for the investigation and were tasked to define the scope of this issue, determine if the condition found has any special causes and report the status to the PSCC. They reported their initial findings to the PSCC on April 27, 2022.
At the PSCC of April 27, 2022, the scope was discussed along with exposure and vehicle disposition confirmed.
Based on the feedback provided, the PSCC progressed the issue to the Recall Determination Committee (RDC) for review.
The RDC reviewed the issue on May 3, 2022 and concluded that it represented an unreasonable risk to safety and a voluntarily safety recall should be conducted.
There have been no reported accidents, injuries or fires as a result of this concern.
