Defect

On Affected vehicles it is possible that moisture has entered the Gear Shift Module (GSM) during the assembly process. Under certain conditions there is a risk that this moisture could result in non-illumination of the Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicating the selected gear. Non-illumination of the LED gear indicator adjacent to the shifter would not conform to regulated requirements for automatic transmission control position indicator illumination.

Remedy

Affected vehicles will have the Gear Shift Module replaced.

Defect

On affected vehicles due to a software issue in the Electric Power Inverter Converter B (EPICB) it is possible that as the high voltage battery depletes during driving in EV mode the engine may not restart when the state of charge reduces and the vehicle will therefore lose power. There will not be an associated warning to the driver.

Remedy

Vehicle’s software to be updated in the Electric Power Inverter Converter B (EPICB) and other modules as required to ensure complete cross-module integration. In parallel an over-the-air update will be rolled out and customers who successfully complete this update will not need to visit a retailer.

Defect

On affected vehicles the turbocharger oil feed pipe clamp may have been installed in the incorrect orientation. Incorrectly installed pipe clamp will not provide sufficient clamp load and therefore risk an oil leak.

Remedy

Replace oil feed pipe O-rings and fit replacement pipe clamp correctly.

Defect

Jaguar Land Rover in conjunction with law enforcement and insurance bodies is aware of the increase in thefts of vehicles in specific geographical locations within the United Kingdom. there is no fault with Jaguar Land Rover's security systems and they continue to meet stringent automotive legislation. Jaguar Land Rover is offering owners guidance on how to maximise vehicle security and protect against theft.

Remedy

Vehicle registered keepers will be sent a security guidance letter only - there is no repair action.

Defect

For affected vehicles the manufacturer has developed a software enhancement to further increase vehicle security.

Remedy

The software enhancement will deploy this update and reduce the theft risk.

Defect

Affected vehicles have a Turbocharger oil feed pipe that may over time loosen and lead to an oil leak

Remedy

Replace the Turbocharger oil feed pipe O-rings and install an additional clamp.

Defect

For affected vehicles the manufacturer has developed a software enhancement to further increase vehicle security.

Remedy

The software enhancement will deploy this update and reduce the theft risk.

Defect

Affected vehicles may have a right-hand side lower A Pillar bolt that may not have been tightened to the correct torque. In the event of a crash the body structure may be impaired increasing the risk of injury to the occupants of the vehicle.

Remedy

Check bolt and tighten to correct torque if necessary.

Defect

Damaged front seat belt pretensioner tube may have been installed on the seat belt retractor.

Remedy

Inspect the seat belt pretensioner tube for damage and if damage is identified the seat belt retractor will be replaced.

Defect

The rubberised fuel return hose assembly may have been incorrectly manufactured.

Remedy

Inspect the date code on the fuel return pipe and replace the part if necessary.

Defect

An electrical overload event in the 48Volt (V) electrical system may cause a failure of the Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor.

Remedy

The vehicles will be updated with the latest software which mitigates the electrical failure condition.

Defect

Vehicles failed to routinely achieve the required levels of CO2 emissions.

Remedy

Update the vehicle software to the latest version.

Defect

The brazing of the fuel rail end caps is inconsistent and may not correctly seal the fuel rail ends. Fuel vapour and liquid fuel leaks can occur over time. This can lead to a liquid fuel leak into the engine bay.

Remedy

On affected vehicles replace the fuel rail with a correctly manufactured version.

Defect

The locking ring retaining the fuel delivery module into the fuel tank may not have been correctly assembled onto the fuel tank during the tank assembly process. The driver may smell an increase in fuel odour and in some circumstances with the vehicle static there could be liquid fuel underneath the rear of the vehicle which in the presence of an ignition source could lead to a fire. It is also possible for fuel to leak onto the road surface which in the case of diesel fuel can present a skid hazard to other road users increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the fuel pump module retaining ring ensuring it is tightened to the correct specification if required.

Defect

Vehicles included in safety recall R/2016/302 (P075) have received a modification which has subsequently been determined as not durable for the life of the vehicle. The engine harness may chafe on an engine bracket and cause engine malfunction. In extreme cases the engine may cut out.

Remedy

On affected vehicles inspect harness and repair as necessary. Fit new bracket and secure harness.

Defect

It has been identified by the seat belt Pre-Tensioner manufacturer that the pre-tensioner initiator generant mix ratio does not meet specification. This can therefore result in the initiator not functioning correctly which can lead to none activation of the pre-tensioner.

Remedy

Recall all affected vehicles to check the pre-tentioner and if required replace it with a new quality assured component.

Defect

The under bonnet fuel hoses routed on top of the engine may chafe against a plastic moulded noise suppressing material retaining posts on the underside of the engine top cover. The fuel hoses can over time chafe through the protective sleeve and fuel hose. Should the fuel hose wear through there will be an increased diesel fuel odour due to diesel fuel leaking. If this warning is ignored diesel fuel may leak onto the exhaust manifold (potential fire hazard) or onto the road surface (potential skid hazard).

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and ensure the securing washers are pushed fully home. Additionally remove 8mm from the plastic moulded retaining posts. The tape wrapped around the fuel hose protective sleeve and the fuel hose will be visually inspected and replaced if there are signs of damage.

Defect

A rework where bonded glass was removed and refitted may have used an incorrect combination of adhesive preparation chemicals and glass adhesive.

Remedy

Owner will be instructed to take vehicle to a Land Rover dealer who will remove the affected glazing panels and re-assemble using the correct specification bonding agents.
