VISIBILITY:SUN/MOON ROOF ASSEMBLY17/06/2015

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Land Rover LR4 vehicles manufactured August 15, 2012, to September 18, 2012. Due to the use of an incorrect primer, the panoramic roof adhesive may not adequately secure the roof assembly.

Risk: The insufficient bond may result in the panoramic roof assembly detaching from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will apply the correct primer, free of charge. The recall began in August 2015. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is P065.
