2020–2021 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY, DEFENDER

Category: Light Vehicle · Supplier: Jaguar Land Rover Australia

Recall date: 25 May 2021

Defect

The fixing nuts which connect the exhaust downpipe to the catalytic convertor may not have been tightened to specification. The fixings may loosen over time, which may cause a hot exhaust gas leak into the engine bay.

Hazard

If a hot exhaust gas leak occurs, this may cause localised heat damage and, if sustained, can lead to under bonnet smoke and a vehicle fire. A vehicle fire could increase the risk injury or death to vehicle occupants or bystanders.

Remedy

Jaguar Land Rover will write to all affected owners and ask them to contact their preferred/authorised repairer as soon as possible to arrange a repair, free of charge.
