This class action centers on allegations that certain U.S. Jaguar Land Rover vehicles—specifically the 2013–2016 Range Rover Evoque, 2015–2017 Discovery Sport, and 2013–2015 Land Rover LR2 equipped with a “brazed scroll” turbocharger—contain a defect that can lead to premature turbo failure and, in some cases, cascading engine damage. Owners say the problem can surface well before most drivers would expect major powertrain components to fail, leaving them with expensive repairs and potential safety and drivability concerns (loss of power, warning lights, limp mode). The proposed settlement (open to claims through February 19, 2026, if finally approved) offers reimbursement for qualifying past repairs—up to $3,750 for turbocharger work and up to $12,000 for engine repairs tied to turbo failure—plus extended warranty coverage for future qualifying repairs within 10 years/100,000 miles, with documentation required for repayment. The lawsuit was filed to resolve claims that the vehicles were sold with an undisclosed defect and that consumers were forced to pay out of pocket for failures that should have been prevented, recalled, or covered under warranty. Its significance is practical: instead of litigating defect and consumer-protection claims case-by-case, the settlement creates a standardized pathway for compensation and warranty relief, while also setting boundaries (no reimbursement beyond 10 years/100,000 miles, exclusions for accidents and neglected maintenance, and reimbursement percentages that vary by age/mileage). More broadly, turbocharger defect disputes are common across the industry because modern downsized, turbocharged engines operate under high heat and pressure, making component design and thermal management critical; similar automotive class actions often revolve around whether a pattern of failures constitutes a “defect” that triggers disclosure duties, warranty obligations, or regulatory action under frameworks like NHTSA’s federal safety-defect recall system and state consumer-protection and warranty laws (including the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act and state lemon laws), which collectively shape when manufacturers must repair, reimburse, or notify owners.
