- Problem
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2020 Range Rover Evoque non-PHEV vehicles equipped with 18-inch wheels. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) recommended pressure has been set incorrectly in the instrument cluster. As a result, the TPMS warning light will not illuminate when tire pressure reaches 25% below the cold inflation pressure stated on the tire placard. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
- Risk
- Drivers may unknowingly operate the vehicle with low tire pressure, negatively impacting vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the instrument cluster software, free of charge. The recall began September 24, 2020. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-369-1000. Land Rover's number for this recall is N486.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
On certain 2020 Range Rover Evoque vehicles (non-PHEV models with 18-inch wheels), the tire pressure monitoring system was set with an incorrect recommended pressure in the instrument cluster. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will not come on until tire pressure drops to 25% below the cold inflation pressure listed on the tire placard. These vehicles also do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 138 for tire pressure monitoring systems.
Because the warning does not activate at the normal threshold, drivers may keep driving with significantly underinflated tires without realizing it. Low tire pressure can affect vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash.
Land Rover will notify affected owners, and dealers will update the instrument cluster software free of charge. Owners can contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-369-1000 (recall number N486). You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls, and check your tire pressures regularly until the software update is completed.
