- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2007-2011 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands, or "Zone A." Additionally, unless included in "Zone A" above, Land Rover is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles, originally sold, or ever registered, in Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, or "Zone B."

These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front air bags, these inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.
- Risk
- An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
- Remedy
- Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag assemblies, free of charge. The recall began March 2017. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is P081.

What this recall means for you
Certain 2007-2011 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles have a passenger-side front airbag inflator that may rupture when the airbag deploys in a crash. Long-term exposure to humidity and temperature changes can degrade the propellant inside the inflator, causing it to break apart during deployment.
If the inflator ruptures, metal fragments can strike vehicle occupants, which may result in serious injury or death. The recall covers vehicles originally sold or ever registered in listed states and territories, with the grouping depending on model year and location.
The repair is free: Land Rover will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the passenger front airbag assemblies at no charge. Owners can contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837 (recall P081), and can check their VIN for open recalls.
