NHTSA recall 14V163000
Electrical System, Exterior Lighting · Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the turn signal indicator may not flash at a double rate or click at a double-rate to give a notification to the driver of a front turn signal malfunction. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it matters: Without a warning that a front turn signal is malfunctioning, the driver would continue to use the vehicle, unaware that other drivers on the road are not being notified that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Land rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on, or before, May 27, 2014. Land rover's number for this recall is p042.
