What's wrong?
The passenger frontal air bag in a 2020-2025 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is the air bag built into the passenger side of the dashboard. In a crash, the module opens through the fascia, which is the trim surface over the dashboard, and the folded cushion inflates to help support the front passenger.
On affected vehicles, the problem is inside the air bag module itself. Land Rover found variability in how the air bag material was folded during assembly. That fold pattern affects how the cushion moves through the dashboard fascia during deployment. If the cushion does not unfold cleanly, the passenger air bag can tear as it deploys instead of opening in the shape the restraint system was designed around.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is with the folded air bag inside the module, so an owner is not expected to hear, smell, or feel anything different during normal driving.
Who's affected?

What should I do if my 2020-2025 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific SUV is included in recall 25V454. If it is, contact a franchised Land Rover dealer and reference recall N945 or campaign 25V454. Ask when the passenger air bag module repair can be completed. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?

What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced passenger protection in a crash. If the passenger air bag tears during deployment, it can fail to adequately protect the occupant. The tear can also let hot gases escape, which can cause a burn injury.
When were owners notified about this Land Rover recall?
