Jaguar Land Rover Is Using Old Parts To Fix 10,000 Cars Awaiting Repairs

A Range Rover Evoque owner accused Land Rover of using old parts to fix their car.

British automaker Jaguar Land Rover has come under fire after the owner of a Range Rover Evoque accused the company of fixing her swanky SUV with used parts. The company has reportedly struggled to source enough new components to clear its backlog of 10,000 cars awaiting repairs, so has instead turned to used components as a quick fix.

In the UK, more than 10,000 Jaguar Land Rover customers are currently awaiting repairs to their cars, reports British outlet Autocar. However, the Range Rover manufacturer is facing a “bottleneck” at one of its parts suppliers, which means it has been unable to source the necessary components quickly enough. As such, the backlog has built up and now more than 5,000 JLR cars are off the road and waiting for repairs.
