SUMMARY:
Land Rover is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 LR2 vehicles manufactured from November 12, 2009, through August 23, 2010. The shorting bar in the clock spring may become disconnected when the driver's air bag module connector is installed.

CONSEQUENCE:
The driver's frontal airbag may not deploy as intended or at all and therefore will not be able to properly protect the driver, increasing the risk of injury.

REMEDY:
Dealers will install a spacer into the driver's airbag clock spring harness connector. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before December 13, 2010. Owners may contact Land Rover at 800-637-6837.
