EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL

Issued by Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC · Reported Jul 29, 2021 · 7,027 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Land Rover Defender vehicles. 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."

Consequence

Incorrect child restraint information may result in a child seat being improperly secured, which can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Remedy

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. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N601.
