Jaguar Land Rover Australia is recalling 349 examples of its Defender off-roader due to a manufacturing issue that may cause the wheel hub and suspension assemblies to fail.

    This recall affects previous-generation Defender 90, 110 and 130 models produced from 2010 to 2012.

    “Due to a manufacturing issue, the wheel hub assembly and suspension may collapse or detach from the vehicle,” said the company in its recall notice.

    “If this occurs the vehicle may experience a sudden loss of steering control.”

    If you own an affected vehicle you’ll be notified by Jaguar Land Rover Australia and be instructed to take the vehicle to an approved Jaguar Land Rover repairer to have a free repair carried out.

    If you have any further questions, you can call the Jaguar Land Rover Australia Customer Relationship Centre on 1800 625 642.
