JLR, the company formerly known as Jaguar Land Rover, has recalled 121,509 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport SUVs from model years 2014-2017 because critical parts of their suspensions can detach.
The company tells federal safety officials that “the front suspension upper knuckle joint could develop a crack. In extreme cases, this may lead to detachment of the upper suspension arm.” That could make a vehicle hard to control.
Dealers will inspect the front suspension knuckles. If they find any sign of cracking, they’ll replace them. If they don’t spot a problem, they’ll install a protective bracket to help prevent cracks from starting.
By law, dealers never charge for recall repairs.
Automakers recall many cars every year, sometimes more than once. They try to reach every owner to warn them. However, some fall through the system’s cracks and unknowingly drive recalled cars. Check our easy recall tool to determine if your vehicle has any outstanding recalls.
