SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETIN

Reference Number(s): N796, Date of Issue:  September 06, 2024
LAND ROVER: 2020-2022 Defender (LE); 2021-2022 Discovery (LR), Discovery Sport (LC), New Range Rover Evoque (LZ); 2021 Range Rover Velar (LY)

DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE

A potential concern has been identified on specific vehicles within the above vehicle range.

Certain 2020 to 2022 Land Rover vehicles are failing to complete Software Over The Air (SOTA) updates, specifically Vehicle Domain Controller (VDC) PIVI and Gateway Module A (GWM). These vehicles have now been stopped from further SOTA attempts and require a wired intervention.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN

At the next opportunity, you are requested to repair the vehicle.

Following procedures appropriate to your market and as required by local legislation, owners of affected vehicles should be contacted requesting that the owner contact their nearest retailer/authorized repairer as soon as possible to arrange for the repair to be completed. The National Sales Companies (NSCs), Importer, Regional Office or Government agency will contact the customers. If you have any questions about this process, please contact your NSC/Importer or Regional Office for more information.

Check the JLR Warranty Portal to make sure affected vehicles are correctly identified prior to starting this campaign. The Warranty Portal will be updated to reflect only those vehicles affected.

An owner may indicate that a repair has already been completed for this concern, in which case the full cost of the repair should be reimbursed. Refer to the warranty section of this campaign for details of the Customer Reimbursement and Related Damage Process. At the time of confirming a booking for a vehicle repair, make sure you check the Warranty Portal to confirm if there are any other outstanding campaigns, to make sure the correct parts are available and adequate workshop time is allocated for repairs to be completed in one visit.

FOR THE ATTENTION OF NORTH AMERICAN TERRITORIES ONLY: 

Visit the British Brands Sales Suite (BBSS) website for a list of affected vehicles at your retailer/authorized repairer. Unsold vehicles must be repaired prior to handover of the vehicle for retail sale.

Yours faithfully
