«Breaking News» Jaguar Land Rover recalls 44,000 cars over excessive CO2 emissions

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

Ten models were found to be emitting more CO2 than certified initially, according to the Vehicle Certification Agency. 

Britain's largest car maker said all repairs in conjunction with the recall would be carried out free of charge and it is contacting owners of all affected vehicle.

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 - which are forced by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) - 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. 

All models - both petrol and diesel - impacted are those built between 2016 and 2019.

This includes all examples of the Land Rover Discovery and Discovery Sport.

The Range Rover Sport, Velar and Evoque produced over this three-year period are also being called back. 

Jaguar models affected include the E-Pace and F-Pace SUV, F-Type sports car and the family saloon pairing of the XE and XF. 

The repairs may involved software updates along with physical alterations. 

Some Range Rover Evoque models will also need new tyres.

Jaguar Land Rover said it is liasing with the DVSA to process the recall and inform all owners.

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

The recall comes shortly after the Land Rover Discovery TD6 actually outperformed a number of cars in independent real-world emissions tests when it was found to produce lower amounts of harmful NOx emissions than all other cars tested, including tiny superminis.

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.

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. 

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.
