“A transition to a direct to customer agency model by 2024…” ???

From the PR for the new Land Rover Mayfair boutique showroom:

The Mayfair boutique is the manifestation of Jaguar Land Rover UK’s approach to client services for the luxury sector which sees a transition to a direct to customer agency model by 2024, a move that elevates customer experience both in showrooms and online.

UPDATE: Found more info:

  • Agency contracts have yet to be issued and the current franchised agreements remain in place
  • The company told the network it would be cutting retailers’ margin on new cars by one point from the start of 2023 to cover the costs of moving to an agency agreement – a year ahead of the switch away from franchised agreements.
  • Retailers who spoke to Auto Retail Agenda said the margin cut would be used by JLR to fund customer-facing staffing at the manufacturer rather than to cover the increased stocking cost the manufacturer would face when it switches to an agency sales model.

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

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.
