A quarter of a million vehicles with a safety system that may not work in a crash is a serious matter, not a routine paperwork exercise. The specific failure mode — airbags that don't deploy — is among the worst outcomes in a recall because it removes a last line of protection at the exact moment it's needed most. Land Rover owners should check whether their vehicle is included and act on any recall notice promptly rather than waiting. For prospective buyers in the used market, this is worth verifying against a vehicle's service history before purchase.
Certain Land Rover models might have airbags that fail to deploy during a crash.
