Almost 92,000 Jaguar Land Rover Vehicles Under Investigation in U.S. Due to Suspension Issues
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the start of an investigation involving 91,856 Jaguar Land Rover vehicles over a defect in front knuckles.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched a preliminary evaluation of nearly 92,000 Jaguar Land Rover vehicles to identify the potential risk of defects in the front wheel knuckles.
The regulator received reports that in some vehicles, the aluminum knuckle, which connects critical components such as the front wheel and brake unit, may break on one or both sides. Such an issue increases the risk of accidents and collisions.
NHTSA stressed that this investigation will help determine the scope of the defect's spread, its severity, and causes. It mainly concerns Range Rover Sport models from 2014-2017, produced by Jaguar Land Rover's North American branch. The company has already started analyzing the situations and is collecting additional information to assess the situation.
This move is part of standard procedures to ensure safety and prevent potential accident events related to possible defects in vehicle design. Owners of the mentioned models are advised to monitor official announcements and, if necessary, contact service centers to check the status of the knuckles. It should be recalled that Jaguar Land Rover's headquarters is in the United Kingdom, and the company is a fully owned subsidiary of India's Tata Motors.
