2020 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque has 13 recalls, the most serious affecting mild hybrid models where the 48-volt electrical system can short-circuit and start a fire. Several recalls involve airbags and occupant protection. The front passenger airbag can tear during deployment, failing to cushion an occupant properly and allowing hot gases to escape that can cause burns. The driver-side knee airbag cover can come loose and cause the cushion to unfold out of position, reducing protection in a crash. The front passenger knee airbag has the same problem on the right side. Two separate headliner recalls also fall into this cluster: in cold temperatures, a metal plate bonded to the headliner can detach and strike occupants when side curtain airbags deploy, and some replacement headliners were built without that plate entirely, reducing head impact protection. On the restraint side, certain replacement second-row outer seatbelts may not function properly in a crash. A software fault can also cause the airbag warning light to illuminate falsely, which can mask a real airbag system failure. A few electrical and visibility issues round out the list. The instrument cluster can randomly switch between MPH and KPH without driver input, and the tire pressure monitoring system displays incorrect recommended pressures on models with 18-inch wheels, both of which can affect safe driving. The windshield washer fuse can fail and leave the driver without a working washer system. Vehicles with "Dinamica" cloth front seats have a separate recall because the material can burn faster than regulations allow.
