Land Rover has issued a recall for 4,001 Range Rover vehicles from the 2010 model year.
The recall is due to the vehicles’ failure to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 208, which deals with occupant crash protection. Range Rovers equipped with an occupant classification system may see an airbag warning light illuminate on the instrument panel. The passenger airbag will be disabled if this light is on. Of course, if the car is in an accident and the airbag fails to deploy, the passenger could be injured.
The 2010 Range Rover is a redesigned model and was just recently released. The company has had a spotty past in terms of reliability, and a recall at this early stage is not a good sign of improvement.
Dealers will update the restraints control module with the integrated diagnostics system tool with new software, which will solve the problem.
