Land Rover Recalls 2016-2017 Range Rovers for Seat Belt Defect

Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain 2016-2017 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles. The recall involves 14,812 vehicles where the driver's seat belt emergency locking retractor may not lock as intended. This defect causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 209 and 208.

During hard braking before a crash, the seat belt emergency locking retractor may not lock as intended, which increases the risk of injury to the driver. This recall replaces NHTSA recall number 19V-350. Vehicles previously inspected under the earlier recall that did not receive a replacement seat belt assembly will need to have this new recall remedy performed.

Dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt assembly, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 29, 2022. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
