US EditionJaguar Land Rover to Recall over 170,000 US Vehicles over Loss of Drive ...
The defect can stop the 12-volt system from charging and may cause drive power loss, with no remedy developed yet, NHTSA said.
- On Thursday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that Jaguar Land Rover is recalling 170,169 vehicles across the United States due to an electrical fault causing potential loss of drive power and exterior lighting.
- The NHTSA reported the issue stems from an internal failure in a boost control microchip, which causes the DC-DC converter to fail and prevents the vehicle's 12-volt system from charging.
- Affected models include the Range Rover, Discovery, Range Rover Sport, and Defender, with Jaguar Land Rover expected to mail interim letters to owners by June 12.
- Separately, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency reported that British owners of Jaguar I-PACE electric vehicles expressed concern, with the agency estimating over 26,000 vehicles in the UK could be affected by battery thermal overload.
- The company advises drivers to park vehicles away from buildings and charge them outside, while owners may contact Jaguar Land Rover customer service regarding recall codes D126 and H575.
