Jaguar Land Rover has issued a recall for new Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and LR4 SUVs.
The company has discovered a problem with the tire-pressure monitoring system, which may fail to properly learn the locations of individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. The pressure warning light consequently illuminates, even if the tires are within specification.

“Should one of the tires subsequently lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change in air pressure,” the company notes in its recall notice. “It could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.”
The company will update the body control module (BCM) software to resolve the issue.
The recall affects approximately 28,000 vehicles, including any that were manufactured on September 16, 2013 through June 30, 2014.
