While the specific models affected have not been disclosed officially, it’s believed that the Range Rover Velar and the Land Rover Discovery are among those facing delays. The root of the problem can be traced back to JLR’s newest parts facility, Mercia Park.
“Mercia is a bottleneck, and we have a backlog of orders,” Woolliscroft explained at the summit. “We have a backlog in inbound. As of today, we have 80 lorries waiting to unload. We have a backlog in packing, as those parts are unboxed and packed into the warehouse.”
