REVERSE LIGHTS INTERACT WITH EPB
Operation of the reversing lamp may be affected on certain vehicles. When the driver engages reverse gear and the Electric Park Brake (EPB) is applied the reversing lamps will not illuminate.
On affected vehicles download the latest software to correct this.
FRONT BRAKE FLEXI HOSE BRACKETS MAY NOT BE TO SPECIFICATION
Both front brake flexi hose brackets may not be to design specification. The brake flexi-hose may come into contact with the front tyres leading to chafing and ultimately a loss of brake fluid. Brake fluid loss will illuminate a red warning triangle on the instrument cluster and if sufficient brake fluid leaks out this will ultimately result in extended brake pedal travel combined with reduced braking performance and vehicle stopping distances will increase. Loss of one braking circuit could compromise vehicle stability and increase the risk of an accident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the front brake flexi hose brackets. If the clearance is not to the required specification the technician will replace either one or both of the front brake flexi hose brackets.
FUEL MAY LEAK
The brazing of the fuel rail end caps is inconsistent and may not correctly seal the fuel rail ends. Fuel vapour and liquid fuel leaks can occur over time. This can lead to a liquid fuel leak into the engine bay.
On affected vehicles replace the fuel rail with a correctly manufactured version.

SUPPLEMENTARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) MAY NOT PERFORM AS INTENDED IN A COLLISION
The calibration of the Restraints control Module does not provide the correct fire signals in the event of a collision. In the event of a collision the supplementary Restraint System may not provide the level of protection required to the driver and front passenger and front seat occupants leading to an increased risk of injury.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download the correct software to the vehicle.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER MAY INTERMITTENTLY GO BLANK
Due to a software issue the Instrument cluster may intermittently go blank.
Affected vehicles will be recalled to have the latest software installed/downloaded.

SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
The electrical harness from the Restraints Control Module (RCM) to side crash sensors has been incorrectly orientated. The RCM signal wire for the right hand C Pillar impact sensor is wired to the left hand C Pillar impact sensor and vice versa. In the event of a collision requiring the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) to deploy the curtain airbags they may not deploy or deploy later than design intent which can lead to increased injuries to the rear outboard seat occupant.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and repair the harness to change the wiring at the RCM connector.
SRS DID NOT DEPLOY AIRBAGS AS INTENDED
When connected to Jaguar Land Rover�s Symptom Driven Diagnostics (SDD) device and an update is unsuccessfully undertaken the calibration may default to a pre-set condition. In the event of a frontal impact of a sufficient severity to require the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) to deploy the front airbags the airbags will deploy but at impact thresholds that exceed those which provide the required occupant protection. Failure of the airbags to deploy as required can lead to increased injuries to the occupants.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the RCM with the latest software.
NO OCCUPANCY DETECTION MAT FITTED IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT
The nearside front passenger detection mat was not fitted during production of the seat. No alarm or warning lamp will warn the driver if the front passenger has not fastened the seatbelt.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit an occupancy detection mat to the front passenger seat.
ONE OR BOTH FRONT INDICATORS MAY FAIL
The driver will not be alerted to a failure of one or both of the front directional indicator lamps. This could lead to an extended period of driving with failed lamps where other drivers will not have clear indication of the driver�s intent.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and update the vehicle with the latest software.
FUEL HOSE MAY LEAK
The fuel return hose may leak. Increased fuel odour may be noticed and drivers may also observe liquid fuel puddles underneath the vehicle. It is possible that fuel may leak onto the road surface which can present a skid hazard to other road users increasing the risk of a crash. Should leaking fuel come into contact with a sufficiently hot surface in the engine bay there will be an increased risk of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel return hose.

INCORRECT DRIVESHAFT MAY DETACH
A number of vehicles specified with automatic transmissions may have been fitted with the incorrect specification rear driveshaft. The incorrect driveshaft length is shorter. The driver may experience underbody noise and/or notice an oil leak. In extreme cases the driveshaft may detach from the differential and as a result the vehicle would lose drive which can increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check if the correct driveshaft is fitted. If not already fitted fit the correct driveshaft.
INNER SILL MAY BE CRACKED
On affected vehicles the Left Hand Inner Sill Panel may be cracked. During an impact on the left hand side there is a risk that underfloor fuel lines will be ruptured and result in fuel leaking from the vehicle.
If the inner sill panel on an affected is cracked the manufacturer will repurchase the vehicle and the customer will be supplied with a new vehicle.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It has been identified that the underfloor mounted diesel fuel cooler may not have been manufactured to specification. This can result in fuel leak. The driver will become aware of the issue by either a smell of fuel pooling of fuel under the vehicle when stationary or by an increase in fuel consumption. Where a leak is present pooling can occur on the road surface which can present a skid hazard to other road users and increase the risk of a crash. In extreme circumstances the pooling of fuel underneath the vehicle could in the presence of an ignition source lead to a fire.
Recall all affected vehicle to have the diesel fuel cooler replace with a new quality assured cooler.
