Overview

• The recall formally covers 121,509 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport SUVs from model years 2014 through 2017 under NHTSA campaign numbers D019, N759, D041 and D027.
• NHTSA documents warn that a cracked upper front suspension knuckle joint can in rare cases allow the upper suspension arm to detach, increasing crash risk during evasive maneuvers.
• Jaguar Land Rover has received 110 reports of knuckle failures but confirmed there have been no injuries linked to the defect.
• Dealers will inspect both front suspension knuckles, install a retaining bracket if no cracks are found and replace the knuckle assembly immediately upon detecting damage.
• The automaker is probing why Canadian-market vehicles exhibit a higher incidence rate and is examining environmental factors such as exposure to harsh winter conditions.
