The recall affects 185 vehicles across seven different models. These include five Jaguar F-Pace SUVs and 180 Land Rover vehicles, spanning the Defender, Discovery Sport, Range Rover, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Velar, and Range Rover Sport models.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) recall notice states that еhe problem could lead to overheating and failure of the system, which doesn't comply with safety standards and might increase the risk of pedestrian injury.
The root of the problem lies in the Near Field Sensing Module (NFSM). Some parts of this module lack thermal interface material, which can cause a temperature difference between two silicone chips. As a result, the module might reset, preventing the 3D Surround Camera images from showing up on the display.
For the Jaguar F-Pace, the affected vehicles were made between September 5 and October 25, 2023. The production dates for the Land Rover models vary, with the earliest starting on September 8, 2023, for the Defender, and the latest ending on October 26, 2023, for the Range Rover Evoque.
Jaguar Land Rover hasn't reported any accidents, injuries, fires, or claims related to this issue in the US. Still, they're taking action to fix the problem.
The company will start alerting owners from October 25. Dealers will replace the faulty NFSM module for free to resolve the issue.
