What this recall means for you
The front passenger air bag inflator initiator may fail to ignite during a crash, which means the air bag may not inflate when it is needed. If your vehicle is involved in a crash severe enough to require the air bag, the lack of deployment increases the risk of injury to the front passenger.
The manufacturer will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the front passenger air bag at no cost to you. The recall is expected to begin February 20, 2017. You can contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837 with questions. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
