What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety restraint system defect that increases the risk of injury in a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles. The recall involves the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) connector located in the driver and front passenger side seats. Due to insufficient clearance, this connector may become disconnected.

If the connector becomes disconnected, the driver and/or passenger seat side air bag may not function. In the event of a crash necessitating side air bag deployment, the seat occupant is at an increased risk of injury.

Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will modify the area around the connector to prevent it from becoming disconnected, free of charge. The recall began on January 16, 2014. Customers may contact Land Rover at 1-800-637-6837, Option 9, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
