What this recall means for you

If the vehicle unexpectedly shifts to neutral, there is an increased risk of a crash. Owners should be alert to any unexpected shift to neutral and should not ignore it.

Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the automatic transmission serial number and, if required, update the transmission software to prevent the shift into neutral caused by a faulty crimp. The repair is free of charge. The recall is expected to begin October 14, 2016.
