Jaguar Land Rover Recalls 170,000 Hybrid Vehicles For Losing Power

Jaguar Land Rover has just triggered its largest recall in history, thought to affect over 170,000 cars in the US alone. The British carmaker's woes centre on a faulty electric system for its mild-hybrid SUVs which can cause the vehicle to lose power.

 

In a statement to Auto Express, a JLR spokesperson explained how “Some customers have experienced the DC-DC converter module not operating as intended in some circumstances, for JLR [mild-hybrid] vehicles. Impacted drivers receive a warning to stop their vehicle safely. If vehicles continue to be used, vehicle operation may be impacted.”
