2020–2025 Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Raised Air Intake: Equipment recall
NHTSA campaign 24E102000 · 485 units potentially affected · filed Dec 6, 2024
What's wrong
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2020-2025 Land Rover Defender vehicles equipped with Raised Air Intake (RAI) aftermarket accessory equipment, with part number VPLEP0543. The raised air intake may not be secured properly, which can allow the intake to detach from the vehicle.
Why it matters
A detached raised air intake can fall off the vehicle and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect, and if necessary, remove and reinstall the RAI accessory, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed February 20, 2025. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N964.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
