A safety defect in certain 2013-2015 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles could result in the Occupant Classification System (OCS) not functioning correctly at all times. According to reports filed with the NHTSA, when the vehicle is driven on a very smooth surface for an extended period of time, a light weight adult passenger could be misclassified by the system. In the event of an accident, the passenger may not be protected by the Supplementary Restrain System (SRS). Vehicles experiencing this problem will alert drivers with an illuminated “Passenger Airbag OFF” lamp.

Land Rover will notify owners to return to their dealership to have the OCS software updated, free of charge.
