Inspect the steering column electrical harness apply further protective material and repair damaged wiring where required.
CRANKSHAFT PULLEY RETAINING BOLT MAY FRACTURE
The crankshaft pulley retaining bolt may fracture due to a production specification error.
Replace the crankshaft pulley centre retaining bolt with one that has been manufactured to the correct specification.
THE DIRECTIONAL INDICATORS FAIL TO OPERATE WHEN THE STEERING COLUMN MOUNTED CONTROL STALKS ARE USED
The directional indicators may fail to operate.
Update the vehicle with the latest software on affected vehicles.
AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING FEATURE WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) feature will not be available.
On affected vehicles download the latest software to the vehicle.
FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYS AN INACCURATE READING
On certain 2018 and 2019 Model Year Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport PHEV vehicles where the indicated fuel level on the fuel gauge shows approximately 30% the fuel tank is empty resulting in an engine stall. The vehicle will enter into reduced performance mode and if the customer continues to drive the vehicle will continue to run for circa 8 miles/13Km. The vehicle engine will then cut out without warning. If the traction battery charge status is at least 10% or greater the electric motor will take up drive until such time as traction battery power is depleted. Where the traction battery charge status is below 10% drive from the electric motor is not possible and the vehicle will cut out whilst in motion. All 12 volt powered electrical functions such as power assisted steering exterior lighting and brake assistance will continue to operate as designed. Engine cut out with minimal warning to the driver may lead to an increased risk of an accident.
Fit a new revised fuel level sensor float to the vehicle.

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.
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.
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.
PASSENGR SEAT BELT LOCKING RETRACTOR MAY NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY
The Emergency Locking Retractor in the front passenger safety belt assembly may not function correctly. The Emergency Locking Retractors are equipped with a vehicle-sensitive locking mechanism and a webbing-sensitive locking mechanism. The vehicle-sensitive locking mechanism may not lock as designed. In the event of a pre-crash brake event where the passenger airbag deploys front passenger seat forward facing child seat occupants may sustain more severe injuries.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the left hand front seat belt assembly.
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
The front passenger airbag may not function properly due to a deviation in generant mix ratio. In the event of a crash of sufficient severity the front passenger airbag may not deploy when required. Failure to deploy can lead to increased injuries to the passenger seat occupant.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the front passenger airbag.
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
It has been identified by the air-bag manufacturer that the air-bag initiator generant mix ratio does not meet specification. This can therefore result in the initiator not functioning correctly which can lead to non-deployment of the air-bag. Should a collision occur then there is an increased risk of injury to the passenger.
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the air-bag with a new quality assured component.
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER MAY NOT DEPLOY
It has been identified by the seat belt Pre-Tensioner manufacturer that the pre-tensioner initiator generant mix ratio does not meet specification. This can therefore result in the initiator not functioning correctly which can lead to none activation of the pre-tensioner.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the pre-tentioner and if required replace it with a new quality assured component.
ENGINE MAY CUT OUT
An incorrectly manufactured crank position sensor may cause the engine to unexpectedly cut out or not to start.
On recalled vehicles the engine serial number will be checked and if within the affected range the crank position sensor will be replaced.
REAR PASSENGER SEATBELT MAY FAIL IN A COLLISION
The second row seat backrest on vehicles with the manual recline second row seat system may not latch robustly in position. It is possible the seat belt may not correctly restrain the occupant in the event of a collision.
On affected vehicles inspect the second row seat mechanism and if necessary fit the correct specification components.
VEHICLE DOOR(S) MAY OPEN WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION
The door could be unlatched when in the closed position and no indication provided of an unlatched condition. Vehicle doors not latched in either the primary of secondary state may during driving open. This can increase the risk of a vehicle crash and/or compromise the safety of vehicle occupants and other road users.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download the latest level of software. A limited number of vehicles may also require a Remote Function Actuator module to be fitted.
WHEEL NUTS MAY DETACH
On affected vehicles the road wheel nuts may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. These wheel nuts may crackwhen subject to shock loads and detach from the stud. This may lead to insecurity and possible detachment of a road wheel.
Recall affected vehicles and replace wheel nuts. Locking wheel nuts are not affected.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
The ground wiring for the air conditioning blower within the cockpit harness may not be to specification. This can lead to the wire getting hot and melting the plastic insulation and associated burning smell. If ignored and the loom gets significantly damaged there is a possibility of fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the earth wire. Where other wiring/insulation is affected necessary repairs will be carried out using the correct repair procedures.
