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).
