"Due to a manufacturing defect, the oil filter housing may not meet specifications and could crack over time," the company says in its recall notice.
"If this occurs, oil could leak into the engine bay and accumulate in the presence of an ignition source resulting in a vehicle fire.
"A vehicle fire could increase the risk of serious injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and/or damage to property."
Other JLR vehicles – the Defender, Discovery, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar – have also been recalled for the same issue.
- A total of three vehicles are affected from 2023to 2024
