What is this? This is a safety notice about some Land Rover cars with plug-in hybrid engines. The fuel gauge may not show the correct amount of fuel when the tank is less than one-third full.

What's happening? The cars’ fuel gauges can give wrong readings. They may say there is still fuel when the tank is nearly empty.

Does this affect me? This affects owners of certain Range Rover PHEV and Range Rover Sport PHEV cars in the UK, Finland, Ireland, and Sweden.

What should I do? Take your car to a Land Rover dealer for a free check. Ask your pharmacist or doctor if you need help with anything else.
