Jaguar Recalls Parts for ‘90s SUVs

Jaguar Land Rover North America Inc. is recalling 180 REAR driveshaft couplings, Land Rover branded part No. TVF100010, manufactured between April and November 2011, sold for use as service parts for model year 1995-1999 Discovery, 1999-2004 Discovery II, and 1995 Range Rover Classic vehicles. Some of the rear driveshaft couplings may not have been manufactured to the required engineering design specifications and may exhibit the onset of joint separation, precluded by drive line vibration.

If this increased vibration warning sign is ignored, catastrophic failure of the drive coupling can occur. The driveshaft may detach from the vehicle while in motion resulting in loss of drive and loss of transmission park functionality, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash and/or injury.

Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected rear driveshaft couplers free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or about April 23.

Land Rover's recall campaign number is P024.
