Product Safety Recall: Selected 2024 to 2027 Jaquar F-Pace, Defender, Discovery, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar Vehicles

The National Consumer Commission (NCC) notifies consumers of a product recall of selected 2024 to 2027 model year F-PACE, Defender, Discovery, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar vehicles as notified by Jaguar Land Rover South Africa (Pty) Ltd. The affected vehicles were made available for sale nationally during the following periods:

  • F-PACE: March 2024 to January 2025
  • Defender: March 2024 to April 2026
  • Discovery: March 2024 to April 2026
  • Range Rover: March 2024 to June 2024
  • Range Rover Sport: March 2024 to June 2024
  • Range Rover Velar: March 2024 to April 2026

According to the supplier, a concern has been identified on certain AJ20-D6 engines where the Front-End Auxiliary Drive (FEAD) belt idler pulley may over-rotate following a high-torsion input. This may cause the pulley to clash and damage the engine oil pressure and temperature sensor. A damaged oil pressure and temperature sensor may result in an engine oil leak, creating a potential slip hazard for other road users, particularly riders of two-wheeled vehicles.

Consumers who own the affected vehicles are called upon to visit their nearest Jaguar Land Rover dealership to arrange for an inspection. The Front-End Auxiliary Drive (FEAD) idler pulley will be replaced free of charge.

  1. US$ reserves: When it comes to holding the glorified US$, South Africa ranks 32nd out of 165 countries in terms of the size of its US$ reserves. South Africa is ranked ahead of Australia, Sweden and Chile. The USA ranks 17th, the UK 23rd, China is ranked 1. The size of a country’s US$ reserves is a reflection of its export market. South Africa clearly has a favourable export market. Again, a good market to be in for any start-up.
