We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and inconvenience to our customers.

Jaguar Land Rover Korea has been investigating possible flaws in the diesel 3.0 TDV6 engine used in some models from 2016 to 2016 with the Ministry of Land, Transport and Tourism in November 2017.

We have been working diligently and actively on all inquiry processes including data submission and field investigation in close cooperation with our UK headquarters for quick and accurate investigation. We have decided to voluntarily recall the defects as the manufacturer responsible for them.

This recall is based on the fault diagnosis that determines the possibility of future product defects due to misalignment of the engine bearings and the crankshaft gap, and the repair of the vehicle, which is determined to be defective in the fault diagnosis process, It will proceed from the 29th.

Details on the consultation and recall actions for defect diagnosis are available on the Jaguar Land Rover recall counseling number (080-894-1000) from October 8th.

Car booking reservations for defect diagnostics can be made through the National Jaguar Land Rover Service Center and the Jaguar Land Rover Recall Consultation Number (080-894-1000) from October 22nd.

I would call this EU customer discrimination, Shame on JLR! RRS 3.0 SDV6 HSE Lux
RRS 3.0 TDV6 gone
LR 3 HSE V8 gone
DiscoveryII V8 Gone
Discovery 1 V8 Gone
Mustang Shelby
Alfa Guilia (classic)

Seems very strange only they would be doing this and not anyone else  2003 BMW M5 - 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

2013 SDV6 HSE Black Edition- Orkney Grey with Ebony & Ivory. LR Facelift RAI, Genuine G4 Expedition Rack, 4x Warn SBD-160 Spotlights, Warn 9.5XPS Winch, Mantec Underbody Protection and Sump Guard, Full Easy Lift Suspension Module, LR Light Guards, Light Force HTX230 Hybrid spotlights, 18” Compomotive PD1881 on 265/65/18 BF Goodrich KO2, ARB fridge, TuffTrek awning 😎

The part I don't really understand is, they will do a fault diagnosis to determine if engine requires replacement fair enough, they also say the diagnosis will take about an hour, again fair enough, but there is no way they can remove the sump to check the crankshaft and bearings and refit in a hour, so if it only takes a hour to determine if it requires a engine change they must know what to look for as the tell tale signs, and if that is the case then why the hell can't L/R check U.K vehicles, unless of course they think they will find to many that need replacing. I did think the first people knew of the issue was when the vehicle stopped abruptly, I am prepared to accept I might be talking complete and utter rubbish though.

Maybe they can do it from debris sampling the oil. That’s how they do it on aero engines and it’s very accurate. 2019 5.0 SC SVA (Current)
2012 5.0 SC AB. Sadly written off by a campervan
23 plate Focus ST (Current)
1942 VEP Ford GPW Jeep (Willys) (Current)
1943 Whites M16 Halftrack (Current)
16 plate Eurofighter Typhoon, 2 x Eurojet engines with 20,000lbs thrust each. 1380mph

Surely, if the failures are indeed down to bearing shells rotating and covering up oilways, there would be no debris until very shortly before the end?

Unless they are looking for fuel dilution of the oil? MY2016 HSE D SDV6 - gone due to fuel dilution problems.

Possibly excessive crankshaft end float, could check that at front pulley.
