Jaguar Land Rover to recall over 250,500 SUVs in US over air bag issue, NHTSA says

- Tata Motors-owned TAMO.NS Jaguar Land Rover is recalling 250,857 SUVs in the U.S. over an air bag defect that could increase the risk of injury in a crash, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Thursday.

  • The recall covers certain Land Rover Defender, Discovery, and Range Rover SUVs, the U.S. auto safety regulator said.

  • The driver's air bag clockspring connector may corrode, preventing the air bag from deploying as intended, it said.

  • Dealers will apply a protective lubricant gel to the connector terminals free of charge, the regulator said.
