Jaguar Land Rover North America will recall 28,037 model year 2014 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport and 2013-2014 LR4 vehicles manufactured 16 September 2013, to 30 June 2014.
In the affected vehicles, the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tyre pressure warning light will illuminate, despite the tyre pressures being within specification. Should one of the tyres subsequently lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change in air pressure.

If the TPMS light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it could mask an actual low tyre pressure condition, possibly resulting in tyre failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the Body Control Module (BCM) software, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on 1 December.
