Popular SUV model hit with recall—Are you affected?
- Replies 0
If you or someone you know is the proud owner of a SUV, there’s some important news you’ll want to pay close attention to.
JLR Australia has just issued a recall for more than 2,800 of these popular mid-size SUVs due to a potentially serious safety issue with the passenger airbag.
According to the official recall notice, a manufacturing defect means the passenger airbag in certain Range Rover Evoque models may tear during deployment.
This isn’t just a minor hiccup—if the airbag tears, hot gases could escape, and the airbag might not provide the protection it’s designed for.
In the unfortunate event of an accident, this could mean the difference between walking away safely and suffering a serious injury.
The recall notice spells it out: ‘In the event of an accident, the airbag not deploying as intended and hot gas escaping towards the vehicle occupants could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.’
While the recall specifically targets over 2,800 Range Rover Evoque SUVs, it’s always best to check if your particular vehicle is on the list.
If you’re unsure, you can contact JLR Australia directly on 1800 625 642, or visit their website for more information.
If your Evoque is one of the vehicles involved, don’t panic—but do act quickly. Owners are being urged to schedule an appointment with an authorised JLR dealership as soon as possible.
The dealership will replace the passenger airbag free of charge, ensuring your vehicle is safe for you and your loved ones
.
Airbags are one of the most critical safety features in modern vehicles, designed to protect you in the event of a crash.
When they don’t work as intended, the consequences can be dire. This isn’t the first time airbags have made headlines—many remember the massive Takata airbag recall that affected millions of cars worldwide.
If you’re not sure whether your Range Rover Evoque is affected, you can:
- Check your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) against the recall list on the JLR Australia website.
- Call JLR Australia’s customer support line on 1800 625 642.
- Contact your local authorised JLR dealership for assistance.
When you bring your car in, the dealership will inspect your vehicle and, if necessary, replace the passenger airbag module. This service is completely free of charge, and it’s a straightforward process that shouldn’t take too long.
