Details

What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the owner's handbook information may incorrectly describe the functionality of the air bag status indicator lamp. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 208, "occupant crash protection."

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.

The fix: Land rover will notify owners and will send out an owner's handbook supplement to all affected owners, free of charge. The recall began on October 8, 2015. Owners may call Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land rover's recall number is p071.
