Seems a strange one:
Alert number: A12/0594/19 Category: Motor vehicles Product: Passenger car Brand: Jaguar Land Rover Name: Evoque Type / number of model: Type-approval number: E5*2007/46*0076 Batch number / Barcode: The affected vehicles were manufactured between 05 October 2018 and 05 March 2019. Risk type: Injuries The indicated fuel level may be inaccurate. This could cause the vehicle to run out of fuel without any low fuel warning. This may cause the engine to cut out while in motion, leading to an accident. Measures taken by economic operators: Recall of the product from end users (By: Manufacturer) https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/consumers_s...amp;lng=en |

Not really that strange, fuel gauge over read. Had it on one of ours, was an early build now sorted.

1. Land Rover Range Rover Evoque P250 R-Dynamic Price £38,675 Target Price £38,675 30k/3yr residual value £27,100 price drop £11,575 retained value 70.1% https://www.whatcar.com/news/the-10-slowes...019/n15338 |

My Mrs has one of these cars and believe me it is not the gauge indicating incorrectly that will cause it to run out it fuel. It seems to always read less than 10 miles left when I get in. If I tell her about the recall she will blame the car not herself if and when she runs it dry. It took eight weeks for her to tell me it needed adblue.
So I’m staying quiet for now I can actually hear wifeys all over the country “honestly, it said I had 50 miles left then it just stopped”. |

More worryingly, I can imagine irate customers at hair salons throughout the land being unable to go out later after their stylists fail to arrive at work having run out of fuel....
