JLR has issued a recall of thousands of Range Rover SUVs built in the prior decade, because of an issue concerning their front suspension.
The recall affects certain Range Rovers from the 2014-2016 model years, of which 16,759 examples are in the U.S.
According to the recall notice published by the NHTSA on Nov. 7 (recall campaign number 24V840000), the front suspension upper knuckle joint on the affected SUVs may crack, which can result in a suspension arm detaching, something that can lead to a loss in vehicle control.
JLR said it isn't aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue.
The remedy requires a dealer to inspect the front suspension and, where necessary, either install a retaining bracket or replace the knuckle. The procedure will be provided free of charge.
Owners will be notified by mail from Jan. 3, 2025, to bring their vehicle into a JLR service center. Anyone looking for further information can contact JLR at 1-800-637-6837 (reference recall number N759) or visit JLR's recall page.
