Jaguar and Land Rover together have recalled 2,128 vehicles because an oil leak can lead to an engine fire.

The companies tell federal safety regulators that a supplier used “the incorrect specification of plastic” to construct oil filter housings for the cars.

When exposed to an engine’s heat, the housings can crack. This can spill flammable oil onto hot engine parts, risking a fire. Parent company JLR says, “There have been a small number of fires as a result of this concern.”

Dealers will replace the housing, the filter, and the o-rings that seal it in place with a new part made with the correct material.
