Jaguar Land Rover is recalling 2013-2015 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles because a brake vacuum hose may be incorrectly routed, potentially causing a loss of braking assistance.

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 in the braking system that could result in a complete loss of braking assistance and increase the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles and 2014-2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport vehicles. The recall covers approximately 29,311 vehicles manufactured between August 16, 2012, and February 12, 2015.

In the affected vehicles, the brake vacuum hose may have been incorrectly routed, which allows a hole to be worn into it. If a hole is worn into the brake vacuum hose, a complete loss of braking assistance could occur. This condition would lengthen the distance required to stop the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.

Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake vacuum hose and correctly route it, as necessary, free of charge. Any brake vacuum hose that is damaged will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on March 2, 2015. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
