What's recalled

Component: Child seat (vehicle latch anchor)

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Land Rover Defender vehicles. The owner's manual incorrectly states that the third-row seating is equipped with LATCH child seat restraints with top tethers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."

The risk

Incorrect child restraint information may result in a child seat being improperly secured, which can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

The remedy and its status

Land Rover will mail owners the correct information to insert into the owner's manual, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 23, 2021. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N601.

Status: NHTSA lists Sep 23, 2021 as the owner-notification date for this campaign.

Land Rover recall number N601
