Country : United Kingdom Chronology :
During new vehicle development testing in September 2022, it was discovered that the level of sound emitted by a test vehicle did not meet the expected level. A stop-shipment was initiated to ensure that the New Range Rover (L460) and New Range Rover Sport (L461) models were capable of emitting the required sound level. Following this, an investigation was opened at the Product Safety & Compliance Committee (PSCC).The PSCC requested the Engineering team to fully define the scope of this issue During October and November, the Engineering team investigated all Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) and PHEV vehicle lines and reported back to the PSCC that previous generation Range Rover (L405) and Range Rover Sport (L494) PHEV vehicles and the BEV Jaguar I-Pace vehicles were potentially affected. The PSCC requested that the Engineering team confirmed the sound files installed on those vehicle lines potentially affected and the impact on the vehicle’s performance against regulated requirements. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-031

The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573
At the PSCC of January 17, 2023, the scope of the issue was discussed and finalized. Based on the feedback provided, the PSCC progressed the issue to the Recall Determination Committee (RDC) for review. The RDC reviewed the issue on January 19, 2023 and concluded that a voluntary safety recall should be conducted to update the vehicle’s sound file to ensure the correct sound is emitted. Following an internal review, the issue was returned to the RDC on February 02, 2023 to confirm the characterization of the defect, the RDC concluded that the failure to comply with FMVSS 141 represented a non-compliance and a voluntary recall should be conducted to update the vehicle’s sound file to ensure the correct sound is emitted. There have been no reported accidents, injuries or fires as a result of this concern. There have been no warranty claims, field or service reports as a result of this concern.
Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Owners will be notified and instructed to take their vehicle to an approved
Jaguar Land Rover repairer. The technician will update the vehicle’s Audio Amplifier software. There will be no charge to the owners for this repair. The affected vehicles will be covered under Land Rover’s new vehicle warranty program.

FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : The incorrect sound levels emitted whilst vehicles are static and reverse gear is selected may result in pedestrians, especially those with impaired vision, not being alerted to reversing vehicles. As a result pedestrians may unwillingly pass the rear of the vehicle as it is about to revers, increasing the risk of pedestrian accident. The level of sound emitted also does not comply with FMVSS No. 141, Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles.
