    Sport Recall for Air Bag

    Just arrived in my mailbox:

    Jaguar Land Rover Australia — Land Rover Discovery Sport
    PRA No. 2018/17081
    Date published 29 Oct 2018
    Campaign number N200
    Product description
    Land Rover Discovery Sport
    Campaign N200
    Driver's airbag inflator (non-alpha)
    4 806 vehicles affected

    Identifying features
    VIN (Vehicle identification number)
    See attached VIN list (see website Jaguar Land Rover Australia — Land Rover Discovery Sport | Product Safety Australia

    What are the defects?
    Airbag inflator: As it gets older, a combination of high temperatures and humidity can cause the airbag inflator propellant to degrade. If an affected vehicle is involved in a collision triggering the airbag, the metal inflator housing may explode/rupture under too much internal pressure.

    What are the hazards?
    In the event of an airbag inflator rupture, metal fragments could possibly shoot out, straight through the airbag cushion material towards the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or fatality.

    So that's a Takata?

    I assume so. I'm surprised that they appear on such a late model vehicle.

    I see it's a non-alpha. Alphas are the most dangerous.

    Thank you for the heads up. So irritating that I cannot save nor open the xlxs file. I don't think IT is JLR's strong point. When I enter my VIN in the JLR tool, I get the message 'No entry found' so I guess I am not on the list.
    Personally I don't think they are taking this seriously enough. The Takatas definitely fail and people get hurt. Surely protecting JLR drivers is a priority, not simply a 'nuisance'?

    Hi Mamil
    Thank you so much for the new attachment. All the xlxs files I downloaded could not be opened.
    Thankfully my vehicle is not on the list - I guess too new.
    Keep up the good work of helping enthusiasts.
