EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL
- The defect
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Land Rover Defender vehicles. The owner's manual incorrectly states that the third-row seating is equipped with LATCH child seat restraints with top tethers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."
- What it can cause
- Incorrect child restraint information may result in a child seat being improperly secured, which can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Land Rover will mail owners the correct information to insert into the owner's manual, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 23, 2021. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N601.
- 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.nhtsa.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 7,027 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 77% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 91 complaints with NHTSA, 9 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V389000 (air bags), 26V248000 (electrical system), 23V044000 (engine and engine cooling), 21V668000 (seat belts).
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 July 29, 2021 as campaign 21V584000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
