Range Rover - Repair and Service Redwood City - 2025 Defender adds more luxury to capable off-roader - Bosch European Redwood City - (650) 368-3000

 

 

Jaguar Land Rover has issued a recall spanning six of its SUV lines, though only certain examples from the 2024 model year.

The cause is an oil filter housing that may crack and leak oil at high pressure into the engine bay, increasing the risk of a fire. The leaking oil could also become a hazard for other road users if it gets onto the road surface.

The affected SUVs include the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar, the Land Rover Defender and Discovery, as well as the Jaguar F-Pace.

A total 2,128 vehicles are affected in the U.S., according to two recall notices published by the NHTSA on June 17.

JLR said in the notices that there has been “a small number” of fires caused by leaking oil filters. The automaker also said it has received seven claims and field reports in the U.S. related to the issue, the earliest of which dates back to April 6.

The remedy requires dealers to replace the oil filter and its housing, as well as any o-rings, at service which will be provided at no cost to the vehicle owner.

Owners will be notified by mail from Aug. 9, to bring their vehicle into a JLR service center. Anyone looking for further information can contact JLR at 1-800-637-6837 (reference recall number N908) or visit JLR's recall page.

Porsche - Repair and Service Redwood City - Porsche Taycan recalled for potential brake fluid leak - Redwood City - (650) 368-3000

 

 

Porsche has issued a recall of its Taycan electric sedan due to the chance of brake fluid leaking, something that could result in the loss of braking performance, the NHTSA disclosed last week.

The recall affects certain Taycans from the 2020 model year, when the electric sedan was launched, right up to the 2025 model year which saw the introduction of an updated Taycan range. A total of 31,689 examples are affected in the U.S.

According to the recall notice, which was published by the NHTSA on June 19, the front brake hoses may develop cracks over time and leak fluid. This is due to extra wear and tear caused by certain steering and driving conditions.

Porsche said in the notice that it has received several reports of the front brake hoses on Taycans leaking, including seven from the U.S.

No accidents have been reported in the U.S. However, one accident was reported outside the U.S., with no injuries.

Owners may notice messages like “brake fluid low" or "PSM failure," the notice said.

The remedy requires dealers to inspect and replace the front brake hoses with a new set with an increased bending radius. The service will be performed free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed out on July 3, but anyone looking for further information can contact Porsche at 1-800-767-7243 or visit Porsche's recall page. Owners can also call the NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236 (reference recall campaign number 24V455000).
