2013 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Recalls Canada & USA – Major League Recalls
2013 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Recalls — Canada & USA
Summary
The 2013 Land Rover Range Rover has 7 recalls, the most serious being doors that may not latch properly and can swing open while the vehicle is moving, with no warning given to occupants.
The door latch issue appears across multiple recalls, including one where a prior repair attempt did not fully resolve the problem, meaning some vehicles may still have unlatched doors that look closed from the inside. On the airbag side, wiring connectors in the front seats can work loose and disconnect, which prevents the side airbags from deploying in a crash. A separate concern involves the passenger seat occupant classification sensor, which may have been calibrated incorrectly, potentially causing the front passenger airbag to be suppressed when it should be active.
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Range Rover and 2014-2016 Range Rover Sport vehicles. These vehicles were previously recalled and repaired under Recall 19V-392, however the repair may not have been completed properly. Due to a problem with the Keyless Vehicle Latching System (KV Latch), the doors may appear to be closed but may be unlatched.
Safety Risk
Unlatched doors may open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will inspect for any issues with the KV system, disabling the KV mechanisms if necessary, and update the KV Latch software, free of charge. The recall began November 30, 2020. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-452-4827. Land Rover's number for this recall is N476.
On certain vehicles, if doors fail to latch properly in the primary or secondary closed position, there would be no indication provided to vehicle occupants of the unlatched door condition. This could result in a door opening while the vehicle is in motion, which could increase the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant seated next to the door, or result in damage to property.
Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 208 - Occupant Protection. The passenger seat occupant classification system (OCS) may have been calibrated incorrectly during the manufacturing process. This could result in the non-deployment of an airbag, which would increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant in a crash where airbag deployment is warranted.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will reprogram the occupant classification system (OCS).
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles manufactured August 23, 2012, to February 5, 2015, and 2014-2015 Range Rover Sport vehicles manufactured June 16, 2013, to February 5, 2015. In the affected vehicles, a light weight adult front seat passenger may be improperly classified by the occupant classification system (OCS) and, as a result, the front seat passenger air bag may be disabled.
Safety Risk
If the front passenger air bag is disabled during a vehicle crash, there is an increased risk of injury.
Remedy
Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the OCS software, free of charge. The recall began April 9, 2015. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is P059.
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Range Rover vehicles. In the affected vehicles, due to insufficient clearance, the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) connector located in the driver and front passenger side seat of the vehicle may become disconnected.
Safety Risk
If the connector becomes disconnected, the driver and/or passenger seat side air bag may not function. In the event of a crash necessitating side air bag deployment, the seat occupant is at an increased risk of injury.
Remedy
Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will modify the area around the connector to prevent it from becoming disconnected, free of charge. The recall began on January 16, 2014. Customers may contact Land Rover at 1-800-637-6837, Option 9. Land Rover's number for this recall is P037.
On certain vehicles, airbag wiring connectors located in the front seats may become disconnected, illuminating the airbag warning light. If the airbag light illuminates, the seat side airbags may not deploy in the event of a crash, which could increase the risk of injury.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will increase the clearance around the connectors.
