Vehicles Affected: Approximately 13,100 model-year 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SUVs equipped with 19-, 20- or 21-inch wheels
The Problem: For SUVs equipped with 19-inch wheels, the tire inflation pressure label and the tire placard label state the incorrect tire pressures for the vehicle.
For those equipped with 20- or 21-inch wheels, the tire pressure monitoring system recommended pressure has been set incorrectly in the instrument cluster. As a result, the TPMS warning light will not illuminate when tire pressure reaches 25% below the cold inflation pressure stated on the tire placard.
In both cases, drivers may unknowingly operate the vehicle with low tire pressure, possibly causing tire tread separation or loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will apply the correct labels and update the instrument cluster software, respectively, for free.
What Owners Should Do:Land Rover will begin notifying owners Nov. 13. Owners can call the autommaker at 800-637-6837, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
