SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR
- The defect
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles. The driver's seat belt emergency locking retractor may not lock as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies" and 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
- What it can cause
- During hard braking before a crash, the seat belt emergency locking retractor may not lock as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt assembly, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 29, 2022. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N678. This recall replaces NHTSA recall number 19V-350. Vehicles previously inspected under recall 19V-350 that did not receive a replacement seat belt assembly will need to have this new recall remedy performed.
- 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 14,812 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 82% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2017, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Land Rover vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 5 times before this, most recently in August 2021 as 21V668000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 269 complaints with NHTSA, 56 of them before this campaign was filed. 8 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 July 2016, 5 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V527000 (steering), 25V514000 (steering), 24V840000 (steering), 20V387000 (latches/locks/linkages).
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 April 5, 2022 as campaign 22V219000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
