Jaguar Land Rover Australia has issued a recall for 95 Range Rover Sport SV models produced between 2023 and 2026. A manufacturing defect has been identified that may lead to cracks in the vehicle's rear subframe.
Why it matters

The recall involves 95 luxury SUVs that were valued at approximately $300,000 when new. Owners can contact the company for assistance regarding inspections at 1800 625 642.
