What is wrong
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2018 Range Rover Velar vehicles. The air inlet door linkages for the ventilation system may detach, preventing the system from clearing fog or condensation from the windshield and windows.
The risk
If condensation or fog cannot be cleared, the driver's visibility may be affected, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software to control the length of movement of the ventilation actuator arm, free of charge. The recall began on April 16, 2018. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-[removed]. Land Rover's number for this recall is N143.
Notes from the manufacturer
