What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the driver's airbag may fail to deploy, significantly increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain 2010-2011 Land Rover LR2 vehicles manufactured between November 12, 2009, and August 23, 2010. The recall involves 2,956 vehicles.

The defect involves the shorting bar in the clock spring, which may become disconnected when the driver's air bag module connector is installed. This issue may cause the driver's frontal airbag to fail to deploy as intended or at all, which would prevent proper protection for the driver and increase the risk of injury.

Dealers will install a spacer into the driver's airbag clock spring harness connector to correct the issue. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall was expected to begin on or before December 13, 2010. Owners may contact Land Rover at 800-637-6837 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
