- What it can cause
- An oil leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the engine cam carrier and related components as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 29, 2023. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N763.
- 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 6,724 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 2019 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Land Rover vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling 8 times before this, most recently in February 2015 as 15V069000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 15 of the 16 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 430 complaints with NHTSA, 89 of them before this campaign was filed. 12 of those name the engine and engine cooling, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in December 2018, 4 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 26 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V458000 (back over prevention), 26V389000 (air bags), 26V248000 (electrical system), 26V097000 (structure).
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 February 2, 2023 as campaign 23V044000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
