JLR Australia is recalling over 2800 Range Rover Evoque mid-size SUVs as their passenger airbags may be defective.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the passenger airbag may tear during deployment,” the company says in its recall notice.
“This could cause hot gases to escape from the airbag and result in insufficient protection to the passenger.
“In the event of an accident, the airbag not deploying as intended and hot gas escaping towards the vehicle occupants could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.”
