NHTSA recall 21V584000
Child Seat, Equipment · Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The owner's manual incorrectly states that the third-row seating is equipped with latch child seat restraints with top tethers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, "child restraint anchorage systems."
Why it matters: Incorrect child restraint information may result in a child seat being improperly secured, which can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
The fix: Land rover will mail owners the correct information to insert into the owner's manual, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 23, 2021.
