Jaguar Land Rover’s production and sales have been seriously disrupted after a cyberattack the company disclosed earlier this week. JLR said parts of its global IT systems were taken offline to limit damage, which led to the shutdown of some manufacturing lines and delays in deliveries.The Solihull plant was hit hardest; it builds the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. Sources indicated the outage also affected parts supply and handovers of new vehicles to customers, although the company has not confirmed those details. Given Solihull’s role, even short interruptions can quickly ripple through build schedules and customer deliveries.JLR said there are currently no signs of any customer data leak. The company is restoring key systems in a controlled manner but has not given a timeline for full recovery, a cautious approach that often points to thorough checks before switching critical platforms back on.Parent company Tata also reported the disruption in a filing to the Indian stock exchange, describing it as an IT security incident. Meanwhile, JLR’s public website and its online car configurator remain available, preserving at least some continuity for shoppers and prospects.The incident coincided with September 1, traditionally one of the busiest days for UK dealers as many new vehicles are registered. One dealer said they were unable to complete any registrations that day, a bottleneck that makes an already intense date even more challenging at the retail end.
