The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has alerted consumers to the recall of certain Jaguar Land Rover Defender and Jaguar I-PACE vehicles due to potential safety defects that could pose risks to drivers and passengers.

The recall affects a limited number of 2026 model Land Rover Defender vehicles, which were sold between November 2025 and February 2026 through authorised dealerships across the country.

“According to the supplier, the third-row lower seat belt anchorage bracket may contain a weld stud of insufficient strength due to material contamination during manufacturing. This defect could prevent the seatbelt from working correctly in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to occupants,” the NCC said.

In a separate recall, certain 2019 to 2021 Jaguar I-PACE vehicles, sold between June 2017 and June 2021, have been flagged for a potential issue with the high-voltage battery pack.

“In certain circumstances, the battery may experience thermal overload which may result in smoke or fire,” the NCC added.

The NCC has urged affected vehicle owners to take immediate action.

“Owners of the affected vehicles are urged to take their vehicles to the nearest authorised Jaguar and Land Rover dealerships for repairs. The necessary repair work will be carried out at no cost to the consumer.”
