Jaguar Land Rover North America is recalling 485 Land Rover Defender vehicles from model years 2020-2025 that were equipped with a 'Raised Air Intake' (RAI) aftermarket accessory (part number VPLEP0543). The air intake may not have been secured properly to the vehicle, which could cause the component to detach while driving. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, remove and reinstall the accessory at no cost to owners.
A detached raised air intake can fall off the vehicle and become a road hazard for other drivers, significantly increasing the risk of a crash. NHTSA has not noted any specific 'park outside' or 'stop driving' advisories for this mechanical detachment risk.
Inspection and reinstallation of the RAI accessory.
