as a luxury car brand, land rover was once one of the representative brands of hard-core cars in the domestic car market, and gained good market recognition and market performance. today, due to the influence of many factors, land rover's performance in the domestic market is not as good as its previous peak period.

according to the official website of the state administration for market regulation, jaguar land rover has decided to recall some vehicles in the domestic auto market due to safety hazards in some of its models.

first, recall some imported 2024 land rover discovery and range rover vehicles produced from november 29, 2023 to december 4, 2023, totaling 3 vehicles.

second, recall some imported 2024 land rover defender vehicles produced from november 30, 2023 to december 17, 2023, totaling 3 vehicles.

obviously, jaguar land rover only recalled 6 vehicles in the domestic car market this time, and the overall number is extremely low. it is worth noting that this recall action has officially started on september 20, 2024, and relevant users may wish to pay more attention to relevant information.

the reason for the recall is that there are problems with the manufacturing process, which leads to insufficient strength of the oil filter housing.

this can cause cracks, which can lead to oil leaks, and can create a risk of fire if hot parts come into contact.

in view of this, jaguar land rover has decided to recall the relevant vehicles. after the recall, jaguar land rover will replace the oil filter housing, oil filter and o-ring for these vehicles free of charge, thus eliminating safety hazards for users.

in fact, as early as june this year, jaguar land rover recalled its vehicles in the domestic car market due to the same problem. on june 21, 2024, the state administration for market regulation announced that jaguar land rover had filed a recall plan with it due to safety hazards in some of its models.

at that time, it mainly involved the imported 2024 jaguar f-pace, land rover discovery, range rover sport, range rover, range rover velar and the imported 2024 land rover defender.

as for the number of vehicles involved, it was 1,769. obviously, compared with this recall, the recall involved more vehicles.

judging from the information released by the state administration for market regulation, this recall can be regarded as an expanded recall of the june 21 recall.

in the current chinese auto market, recalls are not uncommon. it can be said that this has become a common measure to solve problems.

however, according to the information in the relevant recall announcement released by the state administration for market regulation, recalls are currently mainly divided into "active recalls" and "recalls due to defect investigations."

among them, active recall actions should be taken by companies or brands that consider safety hazards or quality problems in their models, and out of a responsible attitude and compliance with local laws and regulations, they proactively recall these vehicles with hazards.

we have emphasized many times before that we tend to have a positive attitude towards such recalls. compared with other automakers, these automakers are more trustworthy.

on the contrary, some car companies' recall actions were carried out "due to the influence of defect investigations initiated by the state administration for market regulation."

personally, i think this type of recall action should not be considered an "active recall action" but rather has a bit of a "passive recall" flavor.

compared with those car companies that take active recall measures, i think these car companies that "passively recall" need to improve their sense of social responsibility and responsible attitude towards users.

however, what’s interesting is that some recall announcements previously issued by the state administration for market regulation clearly stated that these recall actions were recalls “affected by defect investigations.”

however, some car companies demanded that the article be deleted on the grounds that they were "voluntarily recalling" the product. some car companies even used this as an excuse to file complaints.

it has to be said that the logic of these car companies is quite "strong and domineering", "i can do it, you can't say it". however, thinking about it, it feels a bit "baring fangs and claws".

however, what is even more shocking is that some car companies themselves have "suspected inconsistency with publicity" or have obvious common "quality safety or abnormal noise" problems.

as a result, these car companies were criticized by cctv's 315 program and other programs, but they still did not take any recall action.

it has to be said that these all show the necessity for the state administration for market regulation and other departments to strengthen supervision in the current chinese auto market.

here, we hope that some car companies can take the initiative to enhance their sense of social responsibility, abide by relevant national laws, regulations and policies, and take proactive recall measures for models with problems or safety hazards when necessary, and never have a "self-deceiving" mentality.

finally, the recall data involved in this article comes from the official website of the state administration for market regulation.
