Range Rover Evoque: Powertrain

Affects Range Rover Evoque · 2014–2015 — about 2K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, the transmission wire harness connections may have been improperly crimped. This could cause an unexpected shift to neutral which could result in a loss of motive power, which in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions may increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the transmission serial number and, if required, update vehicle software to initiate "limp home mode" where the condition is detected.
