UK DVSAAJ20-D6 Idler Pulley ClashD6 Idler Pulley Clash
Risk: A concern has been identified on certain AJ20-D6 engines where the Front End Auxiliary Drive (FEAD) belt idler pulley may over-rotate following a high torsion input and lead to a clash with and damage to the oil pressure and temperature sensor. A damaged oil pressure and temperature sensor can lead to an oil leak from the engine which can result in a slip hazard for following road users particularly two-wheeled vehicles.
Fix: Vehicles will have the Front-End Auxiliary Drive (FEAD) idler pulley replaced.
UK DVSARange Rover Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar Audio Amplifier Water Damage
Risk: A concern has been identified on certain 2026 model year Range Rover Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar vehicles where the audio amplifiers may have been subject to water damage and may not provide any audio output including no seat belt reminder audible warnings to the driver. A seat belt reminder audible warning chime that does not alert of an unlatched seat belt can increase the risk of occupant injury in the event of a crash.
Fix: Affected vehicles will have the audio amplifier replaced.
UK DVSARange Rover and Range Rover Sport Panoramic Roof Side Finisher Loose
Risk: The manufacturer has identified a concern on certain Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles where the adhesion process used to re-attach the panoramic roof side finishers during vehicle quality rework operations in the assembly plant may not have been sufficient. An inadequately adhered panoramic roof side finisher could over time come partially or completely loose. This could result in distraction to the driver or other road users or in the event of complete detachment harm to other road users particularly pedestrians or two-wheeled vehicles and increase the risk of injury or a crash.
Fix: Vehicles will have the panoramic roof side finisher removed and securely attached.
UK DVSAGear Shift Module Moisture Ingress
Risk: On Affected vehicles it is possible that moisture has entered the Gear Shift Module (GSM) during the assembly process. Under certain conditions there is a risk that this moisture could result in non-illumination of the Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicating the selected gear. Non-illumination of the LED gear indicator adjacent to the shifter would not conform to regulated requirements for automatic transmission control position indicator illumination.
Fix: Affected vehicles will have the Gear Shift Module replaced.
