AIR BAGS:KNEE BOLSTER
- The defect
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2020 Range Rover Evoque vehicles. The cushion cover on the left-side lower knee air bag may come loose, which could result in the cushion unfolding from the air bag module housing.
- What it can cause
- In the event of a crash, an unfolded knee air bag may not offer the driver full protection, increasing the risk for injury.
- What the dealer does
- Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left-side lower knee air bag module, free of charge. The recall began May 3, 2021. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N566.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 250 vehicles this is a small campaign: 58% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Land Rover vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 15 times before this, most recently in January 2018 as 18V015000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 49 complaints with NHTSA, 9 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V248000 (electrical system), 25V454000 (air bags), 25V089000 (air bags), 25V088000 (air bags).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC with NHTSA on March 11, 2021 as campaign 21V168000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
