Recalls
8 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Tires Vehicle recall #14V618000 · 2014 · 28,037 vehicles
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) May fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate, despite the the tire pressures being within specification. Should one of the tires subsequently lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change in air pressure.
Why it matters: If the TPMS light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Land rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the body control module (bcm) software, free of charge. The recall began on November 6, 2014.
Brakes (hydraulic) Vehicle recall #15V042000 · 2015 · 29,311 vehicles
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the brake vacuum hose May have been incorrectly routed allowing a hole to be worn ito it.
Why it matters: If a hole is worn into the brake vacuum hose, a complete loss of braking assistance could occur, lengthening the distance required to stop the vehicle and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Land rover will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake vacuum hose and correctly route it, as necessary, free of charge. Any brake vacuum hose that is damaged will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began March 2, 2015.

Airbags Vehicle recall #15V571000 · 2015 · 5,914 vehicles

Why it matters: An occupant that does not correctly understand the air bag functionality, May be at an increased risk of injury in a crash.
