Certain vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) 201 - Occupant Protection. The latch securing the center console doors might not meet the requirements of the standard, specifically the longitudinal load tests. In the event of a crash, if longitudinal loads exceed those specified in the standard, items secured in the center console might exit the compartment, which may increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will remove the bumper stop for the center console armrest latch.
On certain vehicles, the left hand inner sill panel may be cracked. In the event of a crash, the underfloor fuel line could be ruptured which would result in a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the inner sill panel for cracking. If cracking is found the vehicle will be re-purchased by Jaguar Land Rover and the customer will be supplied with a new vehicle.
On certain vehicles the floor pan may have been built with improperly welded left hand body apron joints. As a result the vehicle would have reduced front-end structural integrity, which could increase the risk of injury to occupants in the event of a frontal crash.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the joints of the body apron, and will repair as required.
On certain vehicles equipped with the plastic rear step bumper, the resin reinforcement brackets that secure the step corners of the bumper could become damaged after a rear impact. If a person were to use the rear bumper steps with damaged resin reinforcement brackets, part of the bumper could break off which could cause the person to fall, increasing the risk of injury.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the resin reinforcement brackets with steel reinforcement brackets. In addition, the rear bumper tread covers will also be replaced.
On certain vehicles, the latch-lock cable may have been incorrectly routed in the path of the rear door window regulator. This could cause the rear passenger door to unlatch and open when the window is lowered, increasing the risk of injury to the rear passengers while the vehicle is in motion.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect, reroute or replace the rear door latch-lock cable assembly as necessary.
Certain vehicles may be missing a support bracket where the front fuel tank strap attaches to the frame. Through continued use, the lack of reinforcement could lead to the fuel tank strap separating from the frame. If this occurs, the fuel tank could move out of position, potentially contacting the ground and causing a fuel leak. A fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will install reinforcement brackets as necessary.
On certain motorcycles, the threads of the side stand pivot bolt may be too short to engage in the locking nut, potentially allowing the side stand pivot to become loose. As a result, the side stand sensor switch may no longer detect the proper position of the stand. This could cause the motorcycle to fail to start while parked, or could cause the engine to stall while the motorcycle is in motion. Additionally, it may be possible to start the engine and begin riding with the stand down. These conditions could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the side stand pivot bolt with a new revised version that has a longer threaded portion. Additionally, the torque of the side stand pivot bolt will be increased, and threadlock will be applied.
On certain vehicles, the secondary hood latch could corrode, and may result in the mechanical binding of the latch. This could cause the secondary hood latch to remain in the open position when the hood is closed. If the vehicle were to be driven with the primary hood latch disengaged, or primary hood latch is released while driving, there is a potential that the secondary hood latch may not hold the hood closed while the vehicle is in motion. If this were to occur, it could compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, as well as cause damage to the windshield. These issues could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage.
On certain vehicles, the outer tubes of the rear liftgate support struts may have had insufficient anti-corrosion treatment applied during manufacturing. As a result, the outer tube could corrode due to salt and water penetration. If this were to occur, the liftgate support strut could rapidly lose pressure, which would allow the liftgate to drop suddenly, placing anyone beneath or near the gate at risk of injury.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the rear liftgate support struts with updated ones.
On certain vehicles equipped with power sliding doors, under certain conditions which impede the opening of the door (such as if the door becomes frozen with ice), the sliding door motor could stall when the door is operated. If the motor stalls, high current in the door motor circuit could be generated, operating the circuit protection for the door motor. If this occurs with the sliding door latch mechanism in an unlatched position, the door could open while driving, increasing the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the existing junction block and the rear sliding door wire harnesses with newly designed ones. The dealer will also install two sub wire harnesses to connect the junction block to the two rear door wire harnesses.
Certain vehicles may have been equipped with an underbody panel which might not provide sufficient clearance to the left catalyst. As a result, heat from the catalyst could melt and potentially ignite the plastic underbody panel, resulting in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the underbody paneling.
On certain vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof, the wind deflector anchor plate of the sunroof may have insufficient bonding. If the wind deflector becomes partially detached from its mounting points after the sunroof is opened, it can interfere with the moveable sunroof panel while the sunroof is being closed and could allow the glass panel to separate from the vehicle while driving, creating a road hazard which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will repair the wind deflector anchor plate.
On certain vehicles, the driver’s knee guard bracket may not have been properly aligned at the time of welding and may not have been properly attached to the steering beam. In a frontal crash where the driver is not wearing a seatbelt, the knee guard may not be able to restrain the occupant’s lower body as designed, which could increase the risk of injury to the driver.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Knee guard welds will be inspected and repaired as necessary.
Certain vehicles equipped with manual transmissions fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 206 – Door Lock and Door Retention Components. The rear hatchback can be unlocked and unlatched with a single press of the interior latch release control button while the vehicle is in motion (less than 7 km/h), which is contrary to the requirements of the standard. As a result, unrestrained occupants may be at greater risk of injury.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will reprogram the Body Control Module with updated software.
On certain vehicles, the bond securing the panoramic glass roof panel to the vehicle may be deficient. Reduced adhesion could allow water entry, excessive noise and could cause the fixed glass panel to completely detach from the vehicle. If this were to occur while the vehicle is in motion, the glass panel could possibly strike another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing injury and/or property damage.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will remove, clean and reinstall the panoramic roof panel to ensure proper adhesion.
On certain vehicles, the tow hook or tow eye bracket fasteners may not have been tightened to specification at time of assembly. A loose tow hook or tow eye bracket may separate from the vehicle while driving or during vehicle recovery, which could result in injury and/or property damage.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and confirm both tow hook bracket fasteners are tightened to specification.
On certain vehicles, the pawl spring tab in the side door latch could break. This condition typically will prevent the door from latching. In certain situations where the door is able to be closed, the door may be partially latched and could unlatch while driving. This could increase the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant seated next to the door, or result in damage to property.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
If a door will not latch, dealers will replace all four door latches with a more robust part.
On certain vehicles, the anti-corrosion treatment of the outer tube of the rear lift gate stay may be insufficient. Over time, the outer tube of the rear lift gate stay may corrode and break off, which could increase the risk of injury.
Certain vehicles equipped with power-operated windows may fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 118 - Power-Operated Window, Partition and Roof Panel Systems. The power window system configuration may exceed the requirements for remote actuation closing force, contrary to the standard, which could increase the risk of injury.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will update the power window operating software.
