What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking occupants, resulting in serious injury or death, which aligns with the rubric criterion for significant injury reports or structural vehicle defects.
Plain-English summary
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles. This recall applies to vehicles originally sold or registered in specific US states and territories, designated as "Zone A" and "Zone B." Vehicles not originally sold or registered in these zones are not subject to this safety recall.
The defect involves certain air bag inflators used in the passenger frontal air bag modules. Due to long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling, the propellant in these inflators may degrade. In the event of a crash requiring air bag deployment, the inflators may rupture, sending metal fragments into the vehicle cabin that could strike occupants and result in serious injury or death.
Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag assemblies free of charge. The recall began in March 2017. Owners can contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
