SEAT BELTS:PRETENSIONER
- The defect
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2022-23 Land Rover Defender, Discovery, Discovery Sport and 2022 Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar vehicles. The driver and front passenger seat belt pretensioners may be damaged, which can cause the seat belts to not properly restrain occupants.
- What it can cause
- Improperly restrained occupants have an increased risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the front seat belt assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 16, 2022. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N720.
- 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 4,927 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 74% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Land Rover vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 6 times before this, most recently in April 2022 as 22V219000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 6 of the 8 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 190 complaints with NHTSA, 21 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 13 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V458000 (back over prevention), 26V389000 (air bags), 26V248000 (electrical system), 25V016000 (back over prevention).
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.
