Official summary

JLR is investigating customers reporting a strong oil smell or a foul odor inside the cabin, mentioning that it seems to be coming from in the engine region. Some customers also notice an oil leak under the vehicle that is identified to be coming from the Power Transfer Unit (PTU).

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
