Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC have informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of their intent to perform a Safety Recall on certain 2023 model year Range Rover vehicles imported into the United States markets. Information relating to this Safety Recall will be posted on the NHTSA website. United States Federal regulations require that retailers/authorized repairers must be notified within a reasonable time after the manufacturer decides that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety or a non-compliance exists. 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 the equivalent of $26,315.00 USD per violation and the equivalent of $131,564,183.00 USD for a related series of violations.

Chronology :

On February 16, 2023, and February 21. 2023, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) received reports from the supplier of the VS-cylinder gasoline engine, that three engines manufactured were suspected to have a turbo oil drain pipe gasket miss-fitted or missing, these engines were inspected and repaired whilst in JLR’ s control.

On March 3, 2023, JLR received a further report from the supplier that two additional engines had been identified in this condition. These two engines were found to have been built into vehicles and these vehicles were identified to be outside of JLRs control. This issue was reported through JLRs critical concerns reporting process.

A Product Safety and Compliance Committee (PSCC) investigation was opened on March 10, 2023. The PSCC requested an Engineering team to fully define the scope of this issue. They reported their initial findings to the PSCC on March 14, 2023.

At the PSCC of March 21, 2023, the scope of the issue was discussed, the consequence of a miss-fitted or missing turbo oil drain pipe gasket was reviewed and it was agreed that the issue be progressed to the Recall Determination Committee (RDC) for consideration.

The RDC reviewed the issue on March 23, 2023, and concluded that this issue represents an unreasonable risk to safety, and a voluntary safety recall should be conducted to remedy the two vehicles identified ( one in US).

There have been no reported accidents, injuries or fires as a result of this concern. There are no warranty claims or field reports related to this matter.
