Overview

• Jaguar Land Rover said factory production will remain halted until at least Wednesday 24 September 2025 as it continues a phased restart and forensic investigation.
• The investigation shifted from initial assurances to confirmation that some data was affected, with relevant regulators being notified and potential contacts to follow.
• Dealers have reverted to paper-based transactions and drone images show hundreds of vehicles at the Baxterley distribution hub as an MP warns of growing layoffs without government intervention.
• Industry estimates suggest losses of at least £50 million per week in lost output, with the company typically producing more than 1,000 vehicles per day.
• A group calling itself Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters has claimed responsibility, though attribution is unverified, and JLR has corrected an erroneous report that it had lost control of 40,000 vehicles.
