Descriptive Information : Jaguar Land Rover is conducting a voluntary safety recall campaign involving certain 2023 Model Year Land Rover Range Rover vehicles built at the Solilhull Vehicle Assembly Plant from August 24, 2022 – November 30, 2022. Approximately 1080 vehicles in the United States and Federalized Territories. The basis of the recall population was derived the potentially affected engine serial numbers that were determined based on delivery dates of affected parts into Jaguar Land Rover’s Engine Manufacturing Centre. Affected Engine serial numbers were then traced to specific VIN’s.

Production Dates: AUG 24, 2022 – NOV 30, 2022
VIN Range 1: Begin : SALKPBFU8PA021265 End : SALKP9F47PA039409
Description of the Defect: A concern has been identified on Certain 2023 Model Year 3.0L AJ20-P6 Land Rover Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar, Discovery and Defender vehicles where in a small number of engines the cam carrier oil gallery hasn’t been fully drilled. As a result, the oil channel could be blocked, leading to accumulation of oil against the pressure control valve rubber membrane, and subsequently an external oil leak or increased oil carryover into the air intake system.

Description of the Safety Risk: In the event of a blockage, oil can accumulate against the engine pressure control valve rubber membrane, and subsequently an external oil leak or increased oil carryover into the air intake system can occur. An external oil leak may lead to an engine bay fire.
