The defect

Land Rover is recalling certain model year 2012 Range Rover vehicles. During the manufacturing process, the windshields on these vehicles may have been installed incorrectly.

The risk

In the event of a crash, the windshield may come loose from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury to the vehicle's occupants.

The remedy

Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will replace the windshields. The recall began on October 29, 2012. Owners may contact Land Rover at 1-800-637-6837.

Notes

Land Rover's number for this recall is P028.Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
