August 13, 2022 Joseph Estabillo

Mahwah, NJ – August 13, 2022 – Tata Motors (NYSE:TTM), which owns Jaguar Land Rover, is recalling 5,297 2021–2022 Jaguar F-PACE SUVs over an issue with the rear signal lights, which could increase the risk of an accident.

Recall summary

Turn signals on a vehicle alert motorists and pedestrians as to which direction the driver intends to turn.

In the affected vehicles, incorrect tail lights may have been installed during assembly, preventing the rear turn signals from working properly and being seen by those driving behind the vehicle. 

The component involved in this recall is the tailgate mounted rear lamp with multiple part numbers, including T4A44678, T4A44679, and T4A44681.

Other Jaguar recalls 

In April 2022, Tata Motors recalled 14,812 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles over an issue with the seat belts. The seat belt emergency locking retractor could fail to lock when the seat belt webbing is yanked during an emergency, leading to an increased risk of injury.

In February 2022, a total of  18,824 Land Rover vehicles, among them Evoque SUVs for the 2020 model year, were recalled due to problems with the airbag.

There was a Jaguar F-PACE recall in September 2021 due to faulty seat belts for child seats. The recall also included other makes.

The repair

Dealers will inspect the Jaguar turn signals and replace the installed lamps with the correct ones. Repairs will be performed at no cost to owners.

Affected owners will be notified by September 16, 2022.

Mahwah, NJ – February 26, 2022 – Tata Motors (NYSE:TTM), which owns Jaguar Land Rover, has recalled 18,824 vehicles due to a defect that causes the driver airbag system to malfunction. This increases the risk of an injury in the event of a crash.

The recall includes 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque SUVs.

Recall summary

Due to a programming error, the supplemental restraint system (SRS) of the vehicles included in this Land Rover recall, which is the computer that controls the airbags, is “overly sensitive.” This means that it may turn the airbag warning light on unnecessarily, even in cases where the airbag is not faulty.

Recall risks

An SRS warning light that falsely illuminates could prevent the detection of an actual airbag system failure. This increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash. Fortunately, Jaguar Land Rover has not recorded any accidents, injuries or fires caused by this issue yet.

Other Jaguar recalls

In September 2021, Jaguar issued a recall over child seats. The Range Rover seatbelt locking system was discovered to be faulty and potentially unable to securely hold a child car seat. 

There was a Range Rover Evoque recall for the 2020 model-year in March of last year due to an airbag issue that could fail to protect the driver in the event of a crash.

Prior to that, the 2020 Range Rover Evoque was recalled because of the risk posed by the front seats’ material. The material was confirmed to burn relatively quickly, ultimately increasing the chances of an injury during a fire.

Repair

To address this concern, a software update will be performed at no cost to the owners. Owners can expect to receive communication regarding the repair program by April 14, 2022.

Jaguar Land Rover recalls vehicles due to incorrect child restraint information

September 6, 2021 Mikaela Bolker ,

Mahwah, NJ – September 6, 2021 – Jaguar Land Rover (NYSE:TTM) has announced a recall for 7,027 vehicles due to incorrect information in the owner’s regarding the third-row seats’ child restraint system. The information may lead to a child being “improperly secured,” increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

The Jaguar recall includes the following vehicles:

  • 2020 Land Rover Defender
  • 2021 Land Rover Defender

Summary

The owner manual of the recall vehicles incorrectly states that the third-row seats are equipped with the so-called lower anchors and tethers for children (LATCH) system “with top tethers.” The system allows parents to secure children with “straps and hooks..and anchor hardware” in place of seat belts.

Risks

This lack of correct information about these Land Rover child seat anchors may lead to the children being “improperly secured,” augmenting the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

There have been no reported injuries from this recall at this time and parents can still use seat belts to secure their children in these seats.

Other Jaguar recalls

Earlier this month, 111,746 Land Rover LR4 and Range Rover Sport cars were recalled because of a potential fuel leak that can lead to a car fire, as reported. In March 2021, 26,805 Land Rover SUVs were recalled for a faulty Auto High Beam (AHB) system. 

Repair

Owners will be mailed a supplement to insert into their current handbook free of charge on September 24, 2021.
