Land Rover Recalls Vehicles Due to Tire Pressure Monitoring System Defect

Land Rover is recalling 28,037 vehicles because the tire pressure monitoring system may fail to detect low pressure, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

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 system failure that could mask low tire pressure and increase the risk of a crash, fitting the rubric 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 2014 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport and 2013-2014 LR4 vehicles. The recall covers 28,037 vehicles manufactured between September 16, 2013, and 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 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. 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.

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. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
