Jaguar Land Rover is recalling two 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque crossover vehicles to fix faulty bolts, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The issue could lead to a loss of vehicle control, increasing the chance of a crash.

No accidents or injuries have been reported linked to the recall, Jaguar said to federal safety regulators.

"The bolts connecting the right-hand rear suspension link arm may have been damaged during vehicle production," said NHTSA in its summary of the problem. "The damaged bolts may fail, allowing the link arm to separate from the vehicle, resulting in a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash."

The affected vehicles were manufactured between November 27, 2013 and December 4, 2013.

Land Rover dealers are being instructed to repair the connecting bolts for the right-hand rear suspension link arm.

The recall is will begin sometime in May.
