Product safety recall – 2020 – 2027 Land Rover Defender, Discovery and Range Rover vehicles

The National Consumer Commission (NCC) informs consumers of a product recall issued by Jaguar Land Rover South Africa (Pty) Ltd affecting selected 2020 to 2027 model year Defender, Discovery and Range Rover vehicles. The affected vehicles were sold nationally during the following periods:

  • Defender: April 2019 to June 2026
  • Discovery: July 2020 to June 2026
  • Range Rover: September 2020 to June 2026

According to the supplier, a concern has been identified with the connector to the driver’s airbag at the clockspring. Over time, the connector may experience fretting corrosion, which can increase resistance in the driver’s airbag circuit. This may result in the driver’s airbag failing to deploy when required to do so.

Consumers who own the affected vehicles are urged to visit their nearest Jaguar Land Rover dealership to arrange for an inspection and repair. Any remedial work will be carried out at no cost to the consumer.
