Despite the company recently touting them as “among the best in Europe.”
Jaguar-Land Rover may be riding on a high after winning their first European Car of the Year Award with their critically-acclaimed I-Pace, but it seems that not all is well in Coventry & Solihull. Despite celebrating independent emissions testing results that saw their diesel engines get rated as some of the cleanest in the world by the AIR Index, their own routine testing revealed that vehicles with their 2.0-litre Ingenium engines (both petrol & diesel) “may emit excessive levels of CO2.”
As a result of the discovery, Jaguar-Land Rover will recall some 44,000 cars, encompassing the majority of the range. The vehicles affected were made between 2016 and 2019, and Jaguar-Land Rover will be personally contacting affected owners.
