What this recall means for you
Certain Land Rover Range Rover vehicles from model years 2007 through 2009 and 2012 have passenger-side front airbag inflators that can rupture in a crash that deploys the front airbags. The inflator propellant can degrade over long-term exposure to humidity and temperature changes, and a rupture can send metal fragments toward the occupants.
Metal fragments striking vehicle occupants can cause serious injury or death. Owners should contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837 and check their vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls. The recall, which began December 18, 2017, is Land Rover's number P082.
The repair is free: authorized dealers will replace the front passenger airbag assemblies at no charge. Land Rover will also notify affected owners directly.
