Jaguar Land Rover recalls multiple vehicle models due to safety hazards

Jaguar Land Rover Ireland Limited is conducting a voluntary recall of several vehicle models, including the Evoque, Discovery Sport, Discovery, Range Rover Sport, and Defender. The recalls are due to various safety concerns identified through technical analysis and field reports.

One significant issue involves the engine stalling in certain Evoque and Discovery Sport vehicles when driven in electric vehicle mode, which can lead to a loss of power without warning. Additionally, some Discovery and Range Rover Sport models with detachable tow hooks may have a mechanism that deteriorates over time, risking trailer detachment during use. There are also concerns regarding the fuel tank wall thickness in certain Defender and Discovery vehicles that could increase the risk of fuel spillage and fire in the event of a crash.

Another critical recall involves the driver’s airbag connector in multiple models, which may experience corrosion and lead to airbag failure during a crash. Finally, certain models have been identified with a risk of fire in the high-voltage battery due to internal cell behavior. Affected customers are encouraged to contact Jaguar Land Rover Ireland Limited for further assistance and to schedule necessary repairs with local dealers or authorized repairers.
