Tires:pressure monitoring and regulating systemsOct 3, 2014 · NHTSA campaign 14V618000 · 28,037 vehicles

Problem: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2014 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport and 2013-2014 LR4 vehicles manufactured September 16, 2013, to June 30, 2014.
