Jaguar Land Rover to recall over 170,000 US vehicles over loss of drive power

(Reuters) – Jaguar ​Land Rover is recalling ‌170,169 vehicles in the U.S. due to loss ​of drive power, ​the U.S. National Highway ⁠Traffic Safety Administration said ​on Thursday.

The recall ​affects multiple models including Range Rover, Discovery, Range Rover Sport, ​Defender, etc., NHTSA ​said.

A failure of the DC-DC ‌converter ⁠will stop the vehicle’s 12-Volt system from charging and can lead ​to ​complete ⁠loss of drive power and exterior ​lighting, the auto ​regulator ⁠said.

The remedy for this recall is currently ⁠under ​development, NHTSA ​added.
