A pipe delivering oil to the engine’s turbocharger could leak and cause a fire if it was not tightened correctly, according to the recall notice.
Jaguar Land Rover Australia has recalled 361 examples of its Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Velar, citing a potential fault with the engine turbocharger oil delivery pipe.
The affected vehicles are stamped 2020 to 2024 models.
The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, says: “Due to a manufacturing defect, the engine turbocharger oil delivery pipe may not have been sufficiently tightened.
“As a result, the pipe may become loose over time and could lead to an oil leak into the engine bay and accumulate in the presence of an ignition source potentially resulting in a vehicle fire.
“A vehicle fire could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and/or damage to property.”
A full list of vehicle identification numbers for the 361 vehicles involved in the recall can be found here.
Jaguar Land Rover advises owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted by the manufacturer, and are asked to take their vehicle to an authorised dealership where the hose will be inspected and replaced free of charge.
Owners can contact the JLR Customer Relationship Centre on 1800 625 642, or send an email to crcau@jaguarlandrover.com
