Summary

Chronology :

In mid-June, 2022, as part of a structured response to the worldwide microchip supply issues, a decision was made to ship forward from the Solihull Vehicle Assembly Plant vehicles without the AAM installed. The plan agreed was to control and rework affected vehicles in the US ports of entry. On July 21, 2022, Jaguar Land Rover started to receive reports that some vehicles built at the Solihull vehicle assembly plant had been found to have no audio output when retailer pre-delivery inspections were conducted. Retailer investigations revealed that there was no AAM installed.

Following receipt of these field reports, actions were completed to ensure there was a clear identification of vehicles where the port of entry rework was needed to install the AAM. Updated information was provided to the ports on or around July 22, 2022.

This issue was raised to the Product Safety and Compliance Committee (PSCC) where, at the PSCC meeting of July 27, 2022, the issue was discussed and Customer Service committed to urgently identify vehicles which had been shipped from US ports of entry but not reworked. It was likely that there were a number of vehicles released unreworked, the PSCC progressed the issue to the Recall Determination Committee (RDC) for review.

The RDC reviewed the issue on July 28, 2022, where the scope of the matter was revealed. The RDC concluded that the defect represents an unreasonable risk to safety and that a voluntary safety recall should be conducted to install the AAM on affected vehicles.

Jaguar Land Rover used 17 Field Reports from July 21, 2022, to July 28, 2022, in determining the nature of the issue.

There have been no reported accidents, injuries or fires as a result of this concern.
