Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles equipped with a Surround Camera System. Water may enter into the rearview camera, which can cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display or display a distorted image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC. (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Discovery, and Range Rover Velar vehicles. The Auto High Beam (AHB) system does not indicate through the instrument cluster when the high beams are illuminated automatically. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

In October 2026, I discovered substantial water intrusion inside my Range Rover. An independent automotive mechanic has diagnosed a failure of the sunroof drainage system as the source of the water intrusion. The damage is extensive and includes: Factory audio amplifier Interior carpeting and underlying materials Headliner Electronic seat control modules Potential additional damage to wiring, connectors, and electrical components that remains to be fully assessed The failure occurred without prior warning. By the time the problem became apparent, water had already entered the vehicle and damaged multiple expensive components. I am particularly concerned because independently documented technical reports describe similar sunroof drainage failures affecting the L405-generation Range Rover, including deterioration or corrosion of drain fittings and subsequent water damage to the vehicle's interior and electrical systems. This raises legitimate questions about the durability and design of the drainage system, as well as Jaguar Land Rover's knowledge of recurring failures affecting this vehicle platform. A sunroof drainage system is an essential part of protecting a vehicle from ordinary rainfall. I do not believe an owner of a premium luxury vehicle should reasonably expect a concealed drainage component to fail without warning and cause extensive damage to interior materials and sensitive electronic systems.

The contact owns a 2018 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the message flashing forward alert not available, brake assist not available, transmission fault, AEB not available, HDC not available were displayed. Additionally, the stability control, forward alert not available, Emergency brake assist not available, and transmission fault warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that on several occasions after restarting the vehicle, the warning lights were no longer displayed; however, the transmission malfunctioned, and the vehicle failed to immediately drive forward. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and was diagnosed with engine failure. The engine was replaced, but after retrieving the vehicle, the failures immediately reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The cause of the failures was not yet determined. The failure mileage was 67,000

Following a routine oil and filter service and starter motor replacement at an authorized Land Rover dealer, the engine seized within 21 miles of vehicle delivery. The vehicle was brought to the dealer for a no-start condition. A prior independent shop had evaluated the vehicle and found exclusively electrical issues — no engine, fluid, or cooling concerns. The dealer performed a multi-point inspection confirming no fluid leaks and no engine concerns. The dealer then performed an oil and filter service and starter motor replacement. The dealer's own technician notes state the vehicle was started and the concern was confirmed rectified. One mile was driven across nine days of service. Fourteen minutes after taking delivery, warning lights appeared. The following morning, a RED Engine Overheating warning illuminated. The engine seized shortly thereafter, rendering the vehicle inoperable on a public road. The dealer confirmed in writing: spun bearing, rod knock, and metal shavings throughout the engine. The dealer's Service Manager also confirmed in writing that drained oil is not examined for metal contamination as part of their standard oil change procedure. A bearing in pre-failure condition sheds metal particulate into engine oil. This metal contamination would have been detectable in the drained oil had it been examined. The vehicle is currently inoperable and in the dealer's custody. The component is available for inspection upon request. Warning lamps appeared 14 minutes post-delivery. No warning lamps were present before the service visit. Problem has been confirmed by the dealer.

The infotainment system in this 2018 Range Rover has exhibited a recurring defect since at least January 2026. The defect manifests in multiple ways: the upper screen intermittently goes blank, the lower screen has been observed stuck flashing, and audio output skips and varies in speed during playback. The system integrates with the rear camera display, audible alerts, and climate controls, so a malfunction affects functions relied upon during vehicle operation, including rear visibility when reversing. The component is available for inspection upon request. On June 15, 2026, while driving on a freeway, the upper screen went blank momentarily without warning. The blackout occurred during normal driving conditions, with no prior warning lamps or alerts, and was unsettling under the circumstances. The vehicle remained controllable, but the incident raised a safety concern because a sudden display blackout at freeway speed is a distraction risk, and because the system is integrated with safety-relevant display and alert functions. The defect has been presented to the authorized dealer multiple times since January 2026. The January service order documented the concern as a continuation of issues following a prior recall and was classified as a warranty matter. The dealer reported being unable to reproduce the defect during a road test. The vehicle was returned for the same concern in April 2026. The dealer's records note updates performed to the IPC, ICDM, AAM, and IDMA modules and again report inability to duplicate the concern despite multiple video recordings of the defect previously submitted to the service department. The defect has continued to manifest after the April service visit, including the June 15 freeway incident. The dealer's repeated inability to reproduce the defect during diagnostic visits does not reflect the actual behavior of the system in regular driving use, where the defect occurs intermittently and without warning. (Video evidence available).
