To fix the problem, the company said it will install a spacer into the driver's airbag clock spring harness connector. This service will be performed free of charge.

TD4-e
The Land Rover LR2 TD4-e is an environmentally friendly model released in 2009. The model uses a 2.2 litre turbo diesel mated with the 6 spped manual gearbox but unlike regular diesels, the engine utilises a stop-start hybrid system. When the car is not moving, the system shuts down the engine and reoperates once the car moves. Also, the TD4-e is the first of the marque's models to achieve full End Of Life certification meaning it's 85% recyclable and 95% re-usable. The TD4-e uses 6.7 litres/100 km.
