Land Rover Recalls 2014 Range Rover Sport for Air Bag Handbook Error
Jaguar Land Rover is recalling 5,914 vehicles because the owner's handbook incorrectly describes the Air Bag Status Indicator Lamp, potentially increasing injury risk in a crash.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a documentation error in the owner's handbook rather than a physical mechanical defect, and no injuries or deaths are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain model year 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport vehicles manufactured between December 16, 2013, and April 15, 2014. The recall involves 5,914 vehicles.
The defect involves the owner's handbook, which may incorrectly describe the functionality of the Air Bag Status Indicator Lamp.
