What this recall means for you
Certain 2020 vehicles have front seats with climate-control features that are trimmed with a cloth called Dinamica. In a fire, this seat material can burn faster than federal flammability standards allow, which fails to meet FMVSS 302 for interior materials.
A seat cover that burns too quickly raises the risk of injury if a fire occurs inside the vehicle. Owners should take this recall seriously and have the work completed as soon as possible.
The repair is free. Dealers will replace the front seat covers at no cost. Land Rover will notify affected owners, but you can also contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837 and check your VIN for open recalls.
