WHAT HAPPENED

Land Rover has issued a recall for multiple passenger car models due to a defect in the airbag system. The affected vehicles include the Discovery, Defender 90, Defender 110, Range Rover, Defender 110 PHEV, Range Rover PHEV, Defender OCTA, Defender 130, Range Rover SV, Hard Top X-Dynamic, and Range Rover PHEV SV. The problem specifically involves the driver’s airbag connector, which may malfunction and prevent the airbag from deploying properly in a crash.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) is overseeing the corrective action. Owners should take this notice seriously as airbag failures can have severe consequences.

If you own one of the affected Land Rover models, please take the following steps:

• Check your vehicle’s VIN or contact your local Land Rover dealer to confirm if your car is included in this recall.
• Schedule a free repair appointment as soon as possible. The correction will involve inspecting and replacing the driver’s airbag connector if necessary.
• Do not delay the repair, as the defect could compromise your safety. For further information, refer to the official recall notice on the CAA website or contact Land Rover customer support.
