2022 Defender Stop/Sell?
#32
So the recall says "certain Land Rovers with darkened rear lamp assemblies" and the VINs seem to pertain to "X" models. Have S and SE models been reported to have the tail-light issue?

The doc refers to "darkened rear lamp assemblies". I thought all tail lights were the same, but maybe not? My VIN starts with SALEK (it's a base model), so my assumption is I am not affected by this. Did some quick research on the configurator and looks like the only 2021 model with darkened tail lights is the X (which would explain the VIN range fifth character X). Would have thought the difference was purely cosmetic, but seems the electrical component is different too. Seems in this case going the "build a cheap Defender" route had an advantage

Was just told by our LR dealer that all Defender (90, 110, etc..) production has stopped indefinitely and nothing is rolling off the assembly line due to the rear brake light issue UNTIL they resolve the issue. Cannot sell them either, even units in transit to dealer and units at dealers. No ETA on when this will be resolved as of this morning.
