Introduction
Land Rover, a brand known for luxury and off-road capabilities, has faced several recalls in 2024 due to various mechanical issues. For Californians, especially those in regions like Fresno and the Central Valley, understanding these recalls is crucial for ensuring safety and leveraging legal protections. This post examines recent Land Rover vehicle recalls, common defects, and how a lemon law attorney can help you win your case under California’s Lemon Law.
Recent Recalls and Defects in Land Rover Vehicles
Surround Camera Issues in Range Rover and Range Rover Sport
Land Rover has recalled 60,000 SUVs, including 2018-2022 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models, due to issues with the surround camera systems. Water intrusion can cause the rearview cameras to fail, resulting in the camera images not appearing on display screens. Dealers will add new seals to the cameras or replace faulty cameras and perform necessary calibrations (CarComplaints.com).
Transmission Problems in Range Rover
Certain 2024 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport plug-in hybrid models have been recalled due to transmission issues. The defect can cause rough shifting and potential transmission failure, increasing the risk of accidents. Affected owners should visit their dealerships for software updates and necessary repairs (CarComplaints.com).
Oil Cooler Hose Defect in Range Rover
Land Rover has recalled some 2024 Range Rover vehicles due to engine-mounted oil cooler hoses that may not be securely attached. This can lead to oil leaks and potential engine fires. Owners are advised to contact their dealers for an inspection and repair of the affected components (CarComplaints.com).
Tailgate Light Issues in Range Rover Sport
The 2023 Range Rover Sport has been recalled due to defects in the tailgate light system. The lights may remain illuminated even when the vehicle is not in use, causing confusion and increasing the risk of rear-end collisions. Dealers will inspect and repair the tailgate light system at no cost to owners (CarComplaints.com).
How a Lemon Lawyer Can Assist
Understanding California’s Lemon Law
California’s Lemon Law, part of the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, protects consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles. If your Land Rover has significant defects that impair its use, safety, or value, and these issues persist after multiple repair attempts, you may be entitled to a replacement or refund.
The Role of a Lemon Lawyer
A lemon lawyer, also known as a lemon law attorney, specializes in consumer protection laws and can help ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Here’s how they can assist:
- Case Assessment: Determining if your Land Rover qualifies under the Lemon Law.
- Documentation: Assisting in gathering all necessary documents, such as repair records and warranties.
- Negotiation: Communicating with Land Rover on your behalf to seek a fair resolution.
- Litigation: Representing you in court if a settlement isn’t reached.
