What this recall means for you
The front passenger airbag inflator in these Range Rovers can degrade over time from long-term exposure to humidity and temperature changes. If the airbag deploys in a crash, the inflator may rupture, sending sharp metal fragments toward the driver or passengers and risking serious injury or death.
The affected vehicles are 2010 to 2012 Range Rovers registered in certain states, with the exact coverage depending on the state history listed in the recall. Land Rover will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the front passenger airbag assembly at no cost. Owners can also contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837, and should check their VIN for open recalls.
