JLR Australia is recalling more than 300 examples of its plug-in hybrid Land Rover Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque as they may lose power unexpectedly.
“Due to a software issue, the high voltage battery may discharge when driving in EV mode. As a result, the vehicle may experience a loss of motive power whilst driving and an inability to restart the engine,” the company says in its recall notice.
“A sudden loss of motive power whilst driving increases the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”
