Jaguar Land Rover is recalling an estimated 104,114 vehicles in three
separate campaigns in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration.
The largest of them affects Range Rovers made between April 15, 2005,
and September 4, 2012, covering 74,648 units in America from the 2006
to 2012 model years. In those affected vehicles, the front brake hose
could rupture, leaking brake fluid and decreasing the capability of
the brakes to, you know... stop the vehicle.
In a similar but separate recall, subsequent Range Rovers from the
2013 and 2014 model years (manufactured between August 16, 2012, and
January 8, 2014) are also being recalled for a brake issue this time
due to the incorrect routing of the brake vacuum hose. The issue could
wear down the hose and disable the power assist, again impeding the
brakes from properly functioning. This second recall also affects the
2014 Range Rover Sport (specifically those manufactured between May 7,
2013, and January 8, 2014), affecting 24,679 units between both models
across the United States.
A third smaller recall concerns the 2012-2015 Jaguar XK namely those
built between March 4, 2011, and March 20, 2014. This campaign
involves the front side parking lamps, which might switch off after
about five minutes, in contravention of federal standards. As such, an
estimated 4,787 units are being called in.
