Alleged Defects in the Affected Vehicles

The Jaguar Land Rover class action alleges that:

  • the Affected Vehicles are defective;
  • the Affected Vehicles fail to comply with the statutory guarantee as to acceptable quality provided under the Australian Consumer Law; and
  • Jaguar Land Rover has engaged in conduct that was misleading or deceptive.

It is claimed that:

  • the diesel exhaust after-treatment system in the Affected Vehicles, by reason of its design, is not effective at regenerating the diesel particulate filter (DPF) in the vehicles; and
  • by reason of the design of the diesel exhaust after-treatment system in the Affected Vehicles, these vehicles have a propensity to experience problems including excessive oil dilution and contamination, increased fuel consumption, DPF blockages, increased wear and tear on the engine, the vehicles entering “limp-home mode” and requiring more frequent servicing and repairs.
