What's wrong?
The Air Bag Status Indicator Lamp in the 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is the light that tells occupants the status of the passenger air bag system. It is part of the information a driver or front passenger uses to understand whether the air bag status shown by the vehicle matches the seat and occupant condition.
On affected Range Rover Sport vehicles, the problem is not a torn wire or a failed air bag module. The owner's handbook describes the lamp operation incorrectly after Land Rover moved the indicator into a new roof console system. That mismatch means the vehicle handbook does not accurately explain how the lamp behaves, which is why the recall is tied to the federal occupant crash protection standard.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is in the written handbook information, so an owner would not hear, smell, or feel a mechanical change from this defect.

What's the safety risk?
The risk is information-based: the owner's handbook does not clearly explain the air bag functionality, so an occupant can misunderstand how the system works and face a higher injury risk in a crash. Review the Land Rover handbook supplement and keep it with the handbook. Repair is free at any franchised Land Rover dealer.
