What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (brake caliper bolts) that can lead to loss of brake function or tire deflation, increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural vehicle defects.

Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain model year 2012 Land Rover LR2 and Range Rover Evoque vehicles. The recall covers vehicles manufactured on June 11, 2012. The defect involves rear brake caliper retaining bolts that may be insufficiently torqued.

Insufficiently torqued brake caliper bolts may result in the brake caliper detaching. A detached brake caliper may lead to a loss of brake function. Additionally, the caliper may strike a wheel, resulting in the sudden deflation of a tire. Either situation may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.

Jaguar Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and tighten the rear brake caliper retaining bolts free of charge. The recall began on January 11, 2013. Owners may contact Jaguar Land Rover at 1-800-637-6837, Option 9, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
