Jaguar Land Rover Australia has recalled 60 examples of the 2023-24 Discovery Sport, having discovered a defect which could reduce its strength in a crash.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the right-hand side lower A-pillar frame mounting bolt may have not been tightened according to specifications,” Land Rover says in its recall notice.
“As a result, this may lead to a reduction of structural integrity in the event of a collision.
“In the event of a front-end collision, an impaired vehicle structure may increase the risk of serious injury or death to vehicle occupants.”

If you own an affected Land Rover Discovery Sport, you’ll need to contact an authorised dealer to have the repair carried out, free of charge.
If you have any questions, you can contact the JLR Customer Relationship Centre on 1800 625 642.
