3rd Generation Range Rover News and Notes

Someday the Takata problem will go away. Today is not that day.

Land Rover is recalling more than 36,500 vehicles as part of a Takata airbag recall expansion of 3.3 million airbag inflators at risk of exploding when they deploy, even in a minor crash.

The Jaguar and Land Rover passenger airbags are at risk of exploding due to a combination of age, moisture and the condition of the metal inflators. At least 21 people have been killed worldwide and more than 200 injured.

The recall includes the 2010-2012 Range Rover in "Zone A" states, and the 2009-2012 Range Rover in "Zone C" states.

More than 8,700 Range Rover SUVs from the 2012 model year are being recalled to replace their passenger-side frontal airbag inflators.

The recall is spread out over multiple "zones" which may affect your eligibility.

Land Rover is just a tiny part of a massive nationwide recall order involving 19 automakers.

The Range Rover is part of a recall of 54,340 Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles with dagerous Takata airbags.

The recall includes about 54,340 sports sedans and SUVs that need the passenger-side airbag inflators replaced. The metal inflators are at risk of exploding because of problems with the explosive chemical ammonium nitrate.
