Vehicles Affected: Approximately 22,600 model-year 2014-15 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque SUVs and model-year 2015 Discovery Sport SUVs. Only Evoque models manufactured between July 15, 2013, and July 1, 2015, and Discovery Sport models manufactured between Sept. 17 and Nov. 3, 2014, are affected.
The Problem: The transmission sensor clusters may have insufficient crimps in the transmission wire harness, which could cause the transmission to unexpectedly shift to Neutral. This increases the risk of an accident. The automaker reports that there have been no accidents or injuries related to this issue.
The Fix: Dealers will update the transmission software for free.
What Owners Should Do: Land Rover will begin notifying owners Oct. 14. Owners can call the automaker at 800-637-6837, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov for more info.
