Cooling fan module may overheat and cause a fire
An internal fault in the fan control module may cause a short circuit, overheating of insulation and a fire in the engine bay, even when the engine is off. The electric cooling fan assembly will be replaced.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- RISK OF FIRE
- Defect
- An internal fault can create a short circuit within the fan control module which may lead to overheating of the insulation and ultimately fire within the engine bay. This may happen with the engine switched off and possibly when the vehicle is unattended..
- Remedy
- Replace electric cooling fan assembly on affected vehicles
Tire pressure system may not detect pressure loss
The tire pressure monitoring system may fail to locate sensors, illuminating the low pressure warning despite correct pressures. If a tire later loses pressure, the driver may not be warned, potentially leading to tire failure and a crash. Dealers will update the body control module software free of charge.
Official NHTSA recall text
- Component
- TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
- Defect
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2014 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport and 2013-2014 LR4 vehicles manufactured September 16, 2013, to June 30, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate, despite the the tire pressures being within specification. Should one of the tires subsequently lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change in air pressure.
- Consequence
- If the TPMS light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the Body Control Module (BCM) software, free of charge. The recall began on November 6, 2014. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837, Option 9. Land Rover's number for this recall is P050.

- Remedy
- Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace both the right hand side rear suspension link arm to knuckle fixings and torque to the correct specification.
Indicator failure warning may not work
If a front direction indicator fails, the audible and visual warning may not alert the driver. This could delay repair and increase the chance of a collision. The vehicle software will be updated.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- FRONT DIRECTION LAMP INDICATOR WARNING LIGHT MAY FAIL
- Defect
- In the event of a front direction indictor lamp failure the audible and visual warning (double click/double flash warning) will not function thereby not informing the driver of the failure. This can result in the vehicle not being rectified for a prolonged period which increases the chance of a collision with other road users.
- Remedy
- Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the vehicle with the latest software.
Turn signal may not warn of front signal failure
The turn signal indicator may not flash or click at a double rate when a front turn signal fails, so the driver may not know other road users are not being alerted. Dealers will update the software free of charge.
Official NHTSA recall text
- Component
- ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
- Defect
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2014 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles manufactured from May 7, 2013, to October 10, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the turn signal indicator may not flash at a double rate or click at a double-rate to give a notification to the driver of a front turn signal malfunction. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
- Consequence
- Without a warning that a front turn signal is malfunctioning, the driver would continue to use the vehicle, unaware that other drivers on the road are not being notified that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on, or before, May 27, 2014. Land Rover's number for this recall is P042.

Fuel return pipe connection may leak
Fuel may leak at the injector spill rail and plastic return pipe connection, pool on the engine or reach the road and create a skid risk. If it contacts hot engine parts, an under-bonnet fire could occur. The connection will be inspected and the spill rail replaced with a modified part if needed.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- FIRE MAY OCCUR
- Defect
- It is possible that a leak can occur between the injector spill rail connection and the plastic fuel return pipe. This can cause leakage of fuel which can either pool on the engine cylinder head and then become deposited onto the road surface where it could cause a skid risk to other motorist or if the fuel comes into contact with extremely hot engine components an exhaust manifold for instance it is possible that an under bonnet fire could ensue.
- Remedy
- Recall all affected vehicles inspect the fuel spill rail/return pipe and if required replace the spill rail with a new modified rail.
Rear brake calliper bolts may loosen
Rear brake calliper mounting bolts may be under-tightened and work loose, allowing the calliper to detach and contact the wheel. This could cause brake failure or sudden tyre deflation and loss of control. The bolts will be checked and re-torqued.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- BRAKES MAY FAIL
- Defect
- Mounting bolts for the rear brake caliper may not be torqued to the correct specification. This will create noise from the rear of the vehicle whilst it is being driven and during braking and should warn the driver of the issue. However if the vehicle continues to be driven it is possible the bolts can work loose thus allowing the brake caliper to detach. This will result in the caliper contacting the road wheel which can cause brake failure or sudden deflation of the tyre with subsequent loss of control of the vehicle.
- Remedy
- Recall affected vehicles to check the mounting bolts and re-torque them.
Steering rack mounting bolts may loosen
Steering rack mounting bolts may not be tight enough, causing noise, feedback or minor oversteer. If ignored, both fixings could detach and make steering difficult. The steering gear and fixings will be inspected and tightened to the correct torque.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- STEERING MAY FAIL
- Defect
- The steering rack mounting bolts may not be fully tight. If the steering gear fixings are below the required torque the driver will experience abnormal noise and feedback through the steering wheel during low speed manoeuvring and at higher speeds some easily corrected minor over steer. If the driver ignores the warning signs both fixings could become sufficiently loose to detach from the vehicle making directional control of the vehicle difficult.
- Remedy
- Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect the steering gear and check the steering gear mounting fixings are tightened to the correct torque.
Windscreen may not be securely bonded
The windscreen may not be fully bonded, allowing water ingress and increased wind noise; it may also fail to meet mounting requirements. The windscreen will be replaced using the correct bonding agent.
Official DVSA recall text
- Component
- WINDSCREEN MAY NOT BE SECURE
- Defect
- The affected vehicles windshield may not be fully bonded in to the aperture. Where the windshield is not bonded water ingress might occur and there may be reports of increased wind noise. Furthermore this concern may also be a non-compliance with the regulatory requirements of FMVSS 212 or FMVSS 216 Windshield Mounting.
- Remedy
- Approved Service Centre will remove and replace the windscreen with the correct bonding agent in line with existing service repair procedures.
