    Jaguar Land Rover Australia is recalling a total of 11 examples of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport due to structural integrity problems that could potentially lead to a vehicle fire if there’s a rear-end collision.

    This recall affects Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models produced during 2023.

    “Due to a manufacturing defect, the vehicle body frame may have poor adhesion with the fixed panels. As a result, it may lead to a reduction of structural integrity,” said the company in its recall notice.

    “In the event of a rear end collision there is a risk the fuel system will be damaged and fuel may leak.

    “A fuel leak will increase the risk of a vehicle fire increasing the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants or bystanders and/or damage to property.”

    If you own an affected vehicle you should contact your preferred Jaguar Land Rover dealer to have the repair carried out, free of charge.

    If you have further questions you can call the Land Rover Customer Relationship Centre on 1800 625 642.
