Aftermarket equipment: applies only if this part was installed

Summary: Jaguar land rover north america, Inc.

The driveshaft may detach from the vehicle while in motion resulting in loss of drive and loss of transmission park functionality, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash and/or injury.
Remedy: Land rover will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected rear driveshaft couplers free of charge. The safety recall began on may 4, 2012. Owners may contact Jaguar land rover north america at 1-201-818-8500.
