«Breaking News» Jaguar Land Rover recalls 44,000 cars

Jaguar Land Rover will recall more than 44,000 cars for repairs after UK regulators found faulty models emitting more carbon dioxide than advertised.

Ten models for Land Rover and Jaguar brands were emitting more greenhouse gases than certified initially, according to the Vehicle Certification Agency. 

Britain's largest car maker said they will carry out free repairs on the models.

Among the models affected include the Land Rover Discovery and Discovery Sport (pictured)

According to the European commission's rapid alert system, JLR cars may emit excessive levels of CO2 and may not conform with certified conditions.

Recalls of cars to fix safety defects happen fairly often, but full product recalls because of exhaust emissions are rare. The recall is thought to be the first CO2 related recall for JLR.  

Among the models affected include the Land Rover Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Sport, Velar and Evoque made between 2016 and 2019. Jaguar models affected include the E-Pace, F-Pace, F-Type, XE and XF. Both petrol and diesel models are included in the recall. 

The repairs may involved software updates along with physical alterations. Some Range Rover Evoque models will need new tyres.  

Vehicle emissions have come under scrutiny in recent years following the Volkswagen diesel scandal, where it was found to have installed software to trick emissions tests.

Jaguar's F-Pace is also among the models which may be emitting more carbon dioxide than advertised

At the same time, international agreement on reducing greenhouse gas emissions prompted government to announce the ban of new fossil-fuel cars. The UK is set to roll out their ban from 2040.

European manufacturers are under pressure to reduce average emissions of new vehicles from 118.5g of CO2 per kilometre to less than 95g by 2021.  

Neil Barlow, DVSA's head of vehicle engineering, said: 'DVSA's priority is to protect everyone from unsafe drivers and vehicles. This includes vehicles that are damaging our environment.'

JLR's recall is not expected to have a material impact on the company's finances, but comes at a challenging time for the car maker. JLR posted a record quarterly loss in February and announced about 4,500 job cuts the previous month.

In a statement, JLR said: 'Affected vehicles are being rectified to ensure the correct CO2 performance is dependably achieved. 

'The modifications made to affected vehicles will be made free of charge and every effort will be made to minimise inconvenience to the customer during the short time required for the work to be carried out.' 

Jaguar's smallest SUV - E-Pace - is also part of the recall

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
