Recall 14V395 affects 40,551 2010-2015 Land Rover LR2 and Range Rover Evoque vehicles for a passenger air bag disablement defect. Free dealer repair.

Land Rover is recalling 40,551 2010-2015 LR2 and Range Rover Evoque vehicles because a control unit fault can fully or partly disable the front passenger air bag. In a crash where the air bag is needed, it can fail to deploy properly and raise the injury risk; the Land Rover dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?

The Occupant Classification System in the 2010-2015 Land Rover LR2 and Range Rover Evoque monitors the front passenger seat. Its electronic control unit reads the seat sensors and tells the air bag system whether a passenger is present, so the front passenger air bag deploys only when the system calls for it.

On affected vehicles, a component inside that control unit fails. When it does, the air bag system loses the correct signal from the passenger seat. The front passenger air bag then becomes totally or partially disabled instead of staying ready for a crash.

There is no warning sign before failure. An owner will not have a reliable sound, smell, pedal change, or handling change to notice because the problem is inside the air bag control electronics.

Who's affected?

Covers LR2 SUVs from 2010 through 2015 and Range Rover Evoque SUVs from 2012 through 2013, with the air bag system listed for both models.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.

What's the safety risk?

If the front passenger air bag is disabled during a crash that needs air bag deployment, it can fail to deploy or deploy improperly, increasing injury risk to the passenger. Confirm with your VIN and schedule the software update promptly. Repair will be free at any franchised Land Rover dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2010-2015 Land Rover LR2 or Range Rover Evoque is included in this recall.
  2. Confirm whether Land Rover mailed an owner notice for your VIN. Owner letters were mailed on August 30, 2014.
  3. Contact a franchised Land Rover dealer to ask about the free Restraint Control Module software update that addresses the Occupant Classification System fault disabling the front passenger air bag.
  4. Reference recall number 14V395 and Land Rover recall P046 when you call.
  5. Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, and keep the front passenger seat empty if the air bag warning or passenger air bag status shows a fault.

What happens at the repair

Land Rover began this recall on August 30, 2014. At the dealer, a Land Rover technician updates the Restraint Control Module software. That module helps the restraint system use Occupant Classification System data to decide whether the front passenger air bag is enabled. The software update is free under the recall. Call a Land Rover dealer with your VIN and ask whether the recall software update is open for your vehicle before you bring it in.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 14V395?

Recall 14V395 covers 40,551 2010-2015 Land Rover LR2 and 2012-2013 Range Rover Evoque vehicles with an Occupant Classification System ECU defect. The failure can disable the front passenger air bag fully or partly, increasing injury risk in a crash. Land Rover dealers update the Restraint Control Module software for free.

What should I do if my 2010-2015 Land Rover LR2 or 2012-2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 14V395. If it is, contact a franchised Land Rover dealer to schedule the Restraint Control Module software update. Reference recall number 14V395 or Land Rover recall P046 when you call.

Is the recall repair free?

What is the safety risk?
