LAND ROVER – Defender 2022
A software fault has triggered a recall of the Land Rover Defender and Range Rover Velar SUVs in Australia.
The 29 affected vehicles are stamped Model Years 2022 and 2023.
“Due to a software issue, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) may not activate as intended. As a result, the internal combustion engine will not start when required resulting in a reduced or a loss of vehicle performance,” the recall notice says.
“A reduction or a loss of vehicle performance whilst driving, could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.
“Owners of affected vehicles should contact their preferred Jaguar Land Rover authorised dealer to have their Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software updated either through a wired connection or, where permitted, via an over-the-air delivery free of charge.”
Drive has contacted Jaguar Land Rover Australia to find out if vehicles have been impacted locally. This story will be updated with its response.
