SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
- The defect
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2021 Range Rover, 2022 Range Rover Sport, 2020-2021 Range Rover Velar, Discovery Sport, 2020-2022 Discovery, and Defender vehicles. The seat belt automatic locking retractors may deactivate early, which can prevent the child restraint system from securing properly.
- What it can cause
- An unsecured child restraint system can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt assemblies as necessary, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed October 20, 2021. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N630.
- 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 32,687 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 87% of the 15,246 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 486. It covers model years 2020 to 2022, 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 seat belts 4 times before this, most recently in December 2020 as 20V793000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 9 of the 10 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 158 complaints with NHTSA, 6 of them before this campaign was filed. 4 of those name the seat belts, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in June 2020, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 21 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V599000 (electrical system), 26V458000 (back over prevention), 26V389000 (air bags), 26V248000 (electrical system).
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 August 26, 2021 as campaign 21V668000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
