2018 Land Rover Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Evoque and Velar recalled.

A recall has been issued for specific MY18 Land Rover Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Evoque and Velar models due to incorrectly manufactured engine-mounted fuel rails.

The recall report indicates that “some engine-mounted fuel rails installed on Ingenium I4 2.0L petrol engines have not been manufactured correctly”. This fault increases the risk of fuel vapour and liquid leaks occurring in the engine bay, which could create a fire hazard.

Owners of affected vehicles may notice an excessive fuel odour, and liquid fuel may be seen in the engine bay.

Owners of affected vehicles will be advised by JLR “to contact their preferred authorised repairer who will inspect the vehicle’s fuel pipes and replace them where required. Two additional clips to ensure correct design clearance will also be fitted”.

The affected vehicles were sold nationally.
