What's wrong?
The rear outer seat belt assembly in a 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque holds a second-row passenger in position during a crash. The assembly includes the belt webbing and a retractor, the mechanism that feeds belt out during normal use and locks it when crash forces demand restraint. It has to match the vehicle's market specification so the belt performs as certified.
On affected vehicles, a replacement second-row seat belt assembly installed during service used the wrong specification. Land Rover traced the problem to an aftermarket part-number cross-reference error, which put a different retractor into a service part intended for these vehicles. In a crash, that assembly can fail to function properly and no longer matches the required occupant-protection and seat-belt standards.
There is no warning sign before failure. The belt can look normal, latch normally, and still have the wrong retractor inside the replacement assembly.
