What owners say
The airbag light came on by itself.
The air bag light has come on and will not go out. There was a recall 15V093000 Occupant Classification Module Update. Land Rover Baton Rouge states that they can't diagnose the issue because the vehicle is a 2014. I am afraid that I and/or any passengers riding in the vehicle will get hurt or at worst killed from the malfunction.
TRIM ELECTRICAL - Upon dealer service inspection, technician found the air bag light on. DTCS code B0020-13 left side airbag deployment control circuit open due to the wiring harness routed under the driver's seat becoming chafed as a result of the automatic seat adjustment resulting in a nondeployment or late deployment of airbag. Dealer recommended replacement of the wiring harness. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN - this is a stock vehicle with 63k miles and normal use of moving the electronic driver's seat forward or back should not interfere with an airbag's performance.
Airbag warning light is triggered intermittently. Dealer diagnostic found fault for the driver side front seat air bag.

The contact owns a 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the passenger’s side air bag warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on two occasions and the dealer diagnosed that the air bag sensor had failed. The dealer lubricated electrical wires located under the front passenger’s side seat; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired.

The airbag warning lamp came on. We took it to LR and they said the replacement would cost $1038. The airbag needed to be replaced at our cost. However, I did see that there us a recall for airbags on my year and model car which my VIN is not included on. However, I believe this may be an error on LR that they did not include my vehicle. I should also note my vehicle is diesel and that might be a reason it was left out? I believe it to be part of recall Part 573 Safety Recall Report 17V‑154 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Manufacturer Name : Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC Submission Date : MAR 13, 2017 the federal safety agency Recall No. : 17V‑154 Manufacturer Recall No. : N026 Manufacturer Information : Manufacturer Name : Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC Address : 555 MACARTHUR BOULEVARD MAHWAH NJ 07430 Company phone : [XXX] Population : Number of potentially involved : 205 Estimated percentage with defect : 100 % Vehicle Information : Vehicle 1 : 2016-2016 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT Vehicle Type : LIGHT VEHICLES Body Style : SUV Power Train : NR Descriptive Information : 2016 MY Land Rover Range Rover Sport Vehicles in select VIN range Production Dates : SEP 20, 2016 - OCT 24, 2016 VIN Range 1 : Begin : [XXX] End : [XXX]Not sequential VIN Range 2 : Begin : [XXX] End : [XXX] Not sequential Vehicle 2 : 2016-2016 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Vehicle Type : LIGHT VEHICLES Body Style : SUV Power Train : NR Descriptive Information : 2016 MY Land Rover Range Rover Vehicles in select VIN range Production Dates : SEP 22, 2016 - OCT 25, 2016 VIN Range 1 : Begin : [XXX] End : [XXX] Not sequential INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The driver air bag has been replaced twice on my vehicle. The airbag light is back on. The steering column spring is bad also. I have paid to repair the airbag twice. This airbag should be recalled. I think it is unsafe for me to drive it and the airbag will not deploy if needed in a car accident. Please help me by recalling the airbag so Land Rover can replace the airbag. I bought the vehicle used but I should not have to sacrifice my safety. It seems the aftermarket does not have the airbag available any longer.
