Recalls: Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar
2018 model year L560 Range Rover Velar: potential fuel leak
In March 2018, a recall was issued for 2018 model year Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar vehicles that had 2.0-litre turbocharged ‘Ingenium’ petrol engines. In these vehicles, the engine-mounted fuel rails may not have been manufactured correctly – this could cause fuel vapour and liquid fuel leaks within the engine bay. If this occurred, vehicle occupants may notice a fuel odour and, if the bonnet was lifted, liquid fuel could be visible. If the leaking fuel came into contact with a hot surface in the engine bay, the fuel could ignite and start an under-bonnet fire. For the VIN ranges of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/16680.
2018 model year Range Rover Velar: fresh air flap could disconnect and cause condensation
In April 2018, a recall was issued for 2018 ‘model year’ Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar vehicles. In these vehicles, a linkage which controlled the fresh air flap in the heating system could become disconnected. In particular atmospheric conditions, condensation could then form on the front windscreen and other windows in the vehicle. If the interior windows were not demisted quickly, the condensation could impair the driver’s vision and increase the risk of a collision. The recalled Range Rover Velar vehicles had VINs in the range SALYA2AV6JA700308 to SALYA2BK0JA740310 (PRA 2018/16698).
2020-21 Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar 2.0 Diesel: fuel injector return pipe could split
In September 2021, recall campaign N590 was issued for 2020-21 Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar vehicles that had 2.0-litre AJ21 diesel engines. In these engines, the fuel injector return pipe may not meet manufacturing specifications and may split. If this occurred, fuel may leak into the engine bay and onto the road, increasing the risk of an engine fire, increasing the risk of a collision and posing a hazard for other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-001678.
2021-22 Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar: seatbelt pre-tensioner may not work
In August 2022, recall campaign N720 was issued for 2021-22 Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar vehicles. Due to a manufacturing defect, a damaged front seatbelt pre-tensioner tube may have been isntalled on the seatbelt restractor. As a result, the seatbelt pre-tensioner may not operate as intended. In the event of a collision, failure of the seatbelt pre-tensioner to operate as intended increased the risk of injury to vehicle occupants. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005492.
2022-23 Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar: camshaft carrier oil gallery
In February 2023, recall campaign N763 was issued for 2022-23 Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar vehicles. Due to a manufacturing error, the camshaft carrier oil gallery may not have been drilled to specification – this could cause an external oil leak or oil to be discharged into the engine’s air intake system. An oil leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a vehicle fire, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants, other road users or bystanders. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005615.
2017-23 Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar: engine overheating, coolant leak and fire hazard
In April 2023, recall campaign N785 was issued for 2017-23 Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar vehicles. Due to a manufacturing defect, the engine may rapidly overheat under certain operating conditions. As a result, the engine-mounted plastic elbow in the colling system could rupture – this could cause a coolant leak and a fire in the engine compartment, posing a risk of injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. If the engine overheated, the engine temperature (red) warning lamp may illuminate. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005649.
2022-23 Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar: tilt sensor may not work
In September 2023, recall campaign N822 was issued for 2022-23 Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar vehicles. Due to a configuration setting issue, the vehicle’s tilt sensor – which detected any change to vehicle angle relative to the ground – may not activate as intended. A loss of tilt alarm notifications increased the risk of an accident and injury to vehicle occupants. To fix, the tilt sensor configuration file was to be updated. Until the recall was completed, owners were advised to be vigilant when leaving their vehicles unattended and to park in secure or well-lit areas wherever possible. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005785.
2022-23 Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar: engine may not start due to PCM issue
In October 2023, recall campaign N831 was issued for 2022-23 Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar vehicles. Due to a software issue, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) may not activate as intended. As a result, the internal combustion engine would not start when required. If this occurred whilst driving, it could increase the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. To fix, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software was to be updated via a wired connection or, where permitted, over-the-air. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-005802.
2023-24 Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar: defective oil filter housing
In June 2024, recall campaign N908 was issued for 2023-24 Land Rover L560 Range Rover Velar vehicles. Due to a manufacturing defect, the oil filter housing may not meet specifications and, over time, could crack. If this occurred, oil could leak into the engine bay and, in the presence of an ignition source, result in a vehicle fire. Such a fire would pose a risk of injury to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and a risk of damage to property. To fix, the oil filter housing, filter and associated O-rings were to be replaced by a Jaguar Land Rover dealer. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-006003.
