Jaguar Land Rover Ireland Limited has announced a voluntary recall for specific Land Rover Defender model vehicles. The recall is due to a safety concern regarding the raised air intake accessory, which may not be properly attached to the vehicle. This issue arises from incorrect dimensional tolerances between the air intake and the vehicle's body A-pillar. If the air intake detaches while driving, it could create a hazard for other road users and potentially lead to a crash.
The affected vehicles were produced between December 1, 2019, and February 28, 2025, with three vehicles in total impacted in the Republic of Ireland. Customers who own these vehicles will be contacted directly by Jaguar Land Rover Ireland Limited to arrange for necessary repairs at their local dealer or authorized repairer.
In addition to the Defender recall, there is also a recall for certain Land Rover and Range Rover Sport model vehicles due to a defect in the middle seatbelt buckle in the second row. This issue could prevent the seatbelt from locking properly, increasing the risk of injury in the event of an accident. A total of 122 vehicles produced between September 12, 2022, and September 7, 2023, are affected by this recall.
Owners of the affected vehicles are encouraged to reach out to Jaguar Land Rover Ireland Limited for further information. They can contact the company directly at 01 489 3790 during business hours or use the provided web form for assistance.
