Jaguar Land Rover North America has announced two rounds of recalls in recent weeks. The first recall affects a limited number of 2018 model year Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Velar, and Land Rover Discovery Sport vehicles equipped with a 2.0L gasoline engine. The fuel rail end caps may leak, possibly resulting in fuel vapor or liquid fuel leaking into the engine bay. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust components can increase the risk of a fire.
Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel rail, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 23. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N138.
Land Rover is also recalling approximately 190 model-year 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque convertibles due to a problem in the tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS).
The affected Evoque convertibles, equipped with 20-inch wheels, have monitoring systems that may not have been set correctly before leaving the factory. According to Land Rover, this could cause the system to fail to warn a driver when the pressure of the tires is 25 percent below the recommended pressure. The warning light on the instrument panel won't illuminate, which is a violation of federal safety standards.
This recall will begin March 23, 2018. Dealerships will make changes to the settings of the monitoring systems.
Concerned owners with questions should call the automaker at 800-637-6837 and ask about recall number N164.
Owners of these and other vehicles who would like to check on their own whether or not their vehicle is affected, can call the phone numbers listed above, or go to the NHTSA Website at nhtsa.gov, and enter your vehicle's VIN. The system will alert you as to whether there is any outstanding recall work that needs to be performed on your vehicle.
