Jaguar Land Rover emissions compensation claims

Jaguar Land Rover is one of a number of notable car manufacturers to have been accused of manipulating its vehicles to cheat emissions tests. While the majority of carmakers have been associated with allegations of the excessive production of NOx emissions, it is also alleged that Jaguar Land Rover vehicles may have been emitting excessive carbon dioxide. The car owners affected by the carmaker’s alleged emissions issues may be eligible to make Jaguar Land Rover emissions compensation claims.

As with others, the carmaker strongly denies they have done anything wrong.

In 2015, news of the Volkswagen “dieselgate” scandal spread across the globe amid allegations that Volkswagen had manipulated emissions controls in its diesel vehicles. This was believed to have been done in order to pass regulatory tests when, in fact, some cars had been producing volumes of NOx (nitrogen oxide) gas that appeared to break emissions regulations. In response, we began a group action against Volkswagen, and initiated High Court proceedings against the company in early 2016. It was later ruled that Volkswagen had indeed used software that amounted to a defeat device, and now we want to help other victims to claim against other car manufacturers who are suspected of similar alleged behaviour

The Jaguar Land Rover recall and emissions allegations

Jaguar Land Rover, like many carmakers, was subjected to scrutiny soon after the Volkswagen emissions scandal emerged, but it was not until 2019 that a manufacturer recall really set off alarm bells.

Jaguar Land Rover announced that it was recalling approximately 44,000 vehicles in respect of carbon dioxide emissions after regulators reportedly found that 10 models were releasing more of the gas that they were originally said to. The named models included Jaguar, Land Rover and Range Rover models, with both diesel and petrol vehicles listed.

Jaguar Land Rover emissions compensation claims

If it is judged that Jaguar Land Rover misled customers to believe that the vehicles they were purchasing emitted permitted levels of NOx or carbon dioxide, if this wasn’t the case, those customers could be eligible to recover compensation by making Jaguar Land Rover emissions compensation claims. Those whose vehicles were recalled can join our group action now.

The recall itself may in fact have led to issues with vehicle performance. High-performance cars typically emit more harmful emissions, so if the repairs and updates to vehicles reduce the amount of emissions produced, owners may have noticed a downturn in their cars’ performance. In circumstances like this, owners would not be getting what they paid for, which could also entitle them to claim compensation.
