Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain 2017 Land Rover Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Discovery vehicles. The recall addresses a defect in the engine management software that may cause the fuel gauge to incorrectly indicate a low fuel level and illuminate the warning lamp, even when the tank contains more fuel. Additionally, the software may cause the engine to cut off after the vehicle has traveled approximately 17 more miles than indicated by the gauge.

If the engine shuts off unexpectedly, it can result in a loss of power brake assistance and drive power. These conditions can increase the risk of a crash. The recall began on June 22, 2018.

Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will install a software update to correct the fuel level reading free of charge. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
