Report Date: December 16, 2012 at 04:55 AM
NHTSA Campaign ID number: 12V563000

Vehicle Model Year(s) Make / Model: 2012 LAND ROVER EVOQUE, 2012 LAND
ROVER LR2
Manufacturer: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC
Report Receipt Date: DEC 06, 2012
Component: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION
COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER
Potential Number of Units Affected: 70

Summary:
Jaguar Land Rover is recalling certain model year 2012 LR2 and Range
Rover Evoque vehicles manufactured on June 11, 2012. The rear brake
caliper retaining bolts may be insufficiently torqued.

Consequence:
Insufficiently torqued brake caliper bolts may result in the brake
caliper detaching. A detached brake caliper may lead to a loss of
brake function. Additonally, the caliper may strike a wheel resulting
in the sudden deflation of a tire. Either situation may increase the
risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy:
Jaguar Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and
tighten the rear brake caliper retaining bolts, free of charge. The
recall is expected to begin on, or before, January 18, 2013. Owners
may contact Jaguar Land Rover at 1-800-452-4827.
