Range Rover Velar

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

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

On affected vehicles the incorrect specification of plastic was used to manufacture the oil filter housing. This housing may over time and with vehicle use crack. This could result in oil under pressure leaking and coming into contact with hot components of the engine which may result in a fire. Additionally oil may leak onto the road surface posing a skid hazard.

Remedy

Replace the oil filter housing complete with filter and associated O-rings.

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

On affected Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) it is possible that the internal combustion engine will not start when required. This may occur whilst the vehicle is in motion and the vehicle will operate in Electric Vehicle (EV) Mode only. When the EV system is no longer able to propel the vehicle the vehicle will unexpectedly slow down and no drive is possible.

Remedy

Software update to the Powertrain control module.

Defect

For certain 2023 Model Year 3.0L AJ20-P6 Land Rover Range Rover Range Rover Sport Range Rover Velar Discovery and Defender vehicles a small number of engines the cam carrier oil gallery hasn�t been fully drilled. As a result the oil channel could be blocked leading to accumulation of oil against the pressure control valve rubber membrane and subsequently an external oil leak or increased oil carryover into the air intake system.

Remedy

The engine cam carrier will be inspected and where an incorrectly machined cam carrier is found replace it with a correctly machined component. Depending on mileage and engine conditions further associated components may require replacement.

Defect

On affected vehicles there is a risk where the water pump pully drive belt can become damaged leading to detachment or destruction. Where water pump pully drive is lost this leads to a loss coolant flow in the engine.

Remedy

Affected vehicles will have the engine coolant elbow replaced. In addition a turbocharger feed coolant pipe will be replaced.

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

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

Remedy

Update the vehicle software to the latest version.

Defect

The crankshaft pulley retaining bolt may fracture due to a production specification error.

Remedy

Replace the crankshaft pulley centre retaining bolt with one that has been manufactured to the correct specification.

Defect

The air inlet door linkages to the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning may detach become detached and depending on operating mode position cause unexpected severe condensation/fogging of the interior windows. At temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius where the linkage detaches in recirculation mode it may not be able to clear condensation/fog from the inside of the front windscreen or other windows which can restrict the driver�s field of vision and could lead to an increased risk of an accident.

Remedy

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download the latest software to the vehicle. Additionally the actuator arm will be replaced.

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.
