Jaguar Land Rover Recalling 170,000 US Vehicles Over Loss of Drive Power

Jaguar Land Rover is recalling 170,169 vehicles in the U.S. due to loss of drive power, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Thursday.

The recall affects multiple models including Range Rover, Discovery, Range Rover Sport, Defender, etc., NHTSA said.

A failure of the DC-DC converter will stop the vehicle’s 12-Volt system from charging and can lead to complete loss of drive power and exterior lighting, the auto regulator said.

The remedy for this recall is currently under development, NHTSA added.
