What is being recalled
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport vehicles manufactured December 16, 2013, to April 15, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the owner's handbook information may incorrectly describe the functionality of the Air Bag Status Indicator Lamp. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Why it is dangerous
An occupant that does not correctly understand the air bag functionality, may be at an increased risk of injury in a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Land Rover will notify owners and will send out an owner's handbook supplement to all affected owners, free of charge. The recall began on October 8, 2015. Owners may call Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's recall number is P071.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 15V-571 when calling a dealer.
