UK DVSASecurity Guidance
Risk: Jaguar Land Rover in conjunction with law enforcement and insurance bodies is aware of the increase in thefts of vehicles in specific geographical locations within the United Kingdom. there is no fault with Jaguar Land Rover's security systems and they continue to meet stringent automotive legislation. Jaguar Land Rover is offering owners guidance on how to maximise vehicle security and protect against theft.
Fix: Vehicle registered keepers will be sent a security guidance letter only - there is no repair action.
UK DVSASecurity Enhancement
Risk: For affected vehicles the manufacturer has developed a software enhancement to further increase vehicle security.
Fix: The software enhancement will deploy this update and reduce the theft risk.
UK DVSAVehicles may have received during a repair a remanufactured steering rack
Risk: Vehicles may have received during a repair a remanufactured steering rack where the track rod ends have not been installed correctly.
Fix: Inspect the steering rack and repair if required
UK DVSAVehicle failed to achieve the required levels of co2 emissions
Risk: Vehicles failed to routinely achieve the required levels of CO2 emissions.
Fix: Solutions include hardware and software changes.
UK DVSAVehicles failed to routinely achieve the required levels of co2 emissions
Risk: Vehicles failed to routinely achieve the required levels of CO2 emissions.
Fix: Update the vehicle software to the latest version.
UK DVSAFuel may leak
Risk: The brazing of the fuel rail end caps is inconsistent and may not correctly seal the fuel rail ends. Fuel vapour and liquid fuel leaks can occur over time. This can lead to a liquid fuel leak into the engine bay.
Fix: On affected vehicles replace the fuel rail with a correctly manufactured version.
UK DVSALocking ring may be incorrectly assembled
Risk: The locking ring retaining the fuel delivery module into the fuel tank may not have been correctly assembled onto the fuel tank during the tank assembly process. The driver may smell an increase in fuel odour and in some circumstances with the vehicle static there could be liquid fuel underneath the rear of the vehicle which in the presence of an ignition source could lead to a fire. It is also possible for fuel to leak onto the road surface which in the case of diesel fuel can present a skid hazard to other road users increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect the fuel pump module retaining ring ensuring it is tightened to the correct specification if required.
UK DVSAElectrical short circuit
Risk: It has been identified that the engine wiring harness of the 2.0ltr engined vehicles fitted with automatic transmission may have been incorrectly routed which may allow the wiring harness to contact the water charge air cooler bracket. Engine vibration can cause a chaffing condition where the outer sheathing of the cable can wear through and expose the wires of the engine harness. Depending on the orientation of the wires within the harness then damage to wires can result in electrical arcing and a short circuit. This condition can also result in the illumination of a warning light on the instrument panel loss of the electronic steering system engine cut out without warning melting of the cable sheathing and surrounding parts. Also in extreme circumstances it can cause an under-bonnet fire.
Fix: All affected vehicles will be recalled to inspect the clearance between the engine harness and water charge air cooler bracket. If the clearance is not to the correct specification the wiring harness will be repositioned and secured to ensure the specified clearance is achieved. If the engine harness shows signs of chafing the engine harness will be repaired re-positioned to ensure the correct specification.
UK DVSASteering control may be compromised
Risk: It has been identified that clamp bolt of the front lower control arm to knuckle fixing may have been incorrectly torqued/tighten this can cause a premature fatigue failure and possible separation of the joint. The driver will receive a warning in the form of noise a ABS warning light on the vehicles instrument panel or the misalignment steering wheel. In addition this is an early life failure. However if the driver does not heed the warning signs then the control the vehicle can be effected which can lead to an increased risk of a crash.
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to replace the affected front lower control arm to knuckle fixing and apply the correct torque. Some vehicles require recall remedy actions to one side only others to both sides of the vehicle.
UK DVSAFront passenger airbag may not deploy
Risk: It has been identified by the air-bag manufacturer that the air-bag initiator generant mix ratio does not meet specification. This can therefore result in the initiator not functioning correctly which can lead to non-deployment of the air-bag. Should a collision occur then there is an increased risk of injury to the passenger.
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to replace the air-bag with a new quality assured component.
EU Safety GateThe deployment of the ammonium nitrate inflator can cause it to burst when there has been a degradation of the propellant.Such a rupture of the inflator can cause metal fragments to be projected at great speed through the airbag into the interior of the vehicle, which can result in serious and even fatal injuries for the occupants.

I took my Range Rover in for a recall issue and was told my fuel tank shield is corroded and failing. This is a very serious issue and seems to be a recurring problem due to galvanic corrosion from reaction of steel and aluminum contact. It isn't an easy, or cost effective fix due to having to remove several exhaust and drive components, before the fuel tank shield can be removed and replaced.
Fuel tank shield have rusted and deteriorated to the extent that the fuel tank is no longer protected.

I'd like to report an incidence of manufacturer non-compliance. We've had recall number 25V-514 open since September 30, 2025. The dealership has said that they don't have a part and simply left it at that. I called Land Rover, and they also indicated that they don't have a part. They won't provide any more details. It has now been 176 days since this we received the letter. I'm sure that Land Rover knew about this problem long before the letter was sent. This is a beyond unacceptable timeframe to process this recall. They are putting the lives of consumers at risk. The letter states…

I own a 2018 Land Rover Range Rover where the airbag warning light remains illuminated at all times on the dashboard, even when the front passenger seat is empty and no cargo is present on the seat. The warning light for airbag indicatesthat the air bag is not activated and will not work in a collision.

The dealer (Land Rover of Palm Beach) diagnosed it as resulting from the front passenger seat movement causing…
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2017 Land Rover Range Rover.

Engine keeps randomly stalling at stop lights and/or stop signs. I was almost T-boned when making a left turn at [XXX] on [XXX]. This has been very dangerous. I have left multiple messages with the local dealership, Tom Wood Jaquar/LandRover with NO returned phone call so I drove over there on 8/15/2025. They told me that they would call me when they have some availability to look at the vehicle. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
At just a little over 58k miles the vehicle started making metal noises while driving. The vehicle will jump into neutral while driving and this was very scary! There are no warning lights or any error codes. This was checked and confirmed by a LandRover dealership in Roanoke- no fault codes. I didnt drive for another few months. Next drive was from VA to KY and the vehicle did the same thing on the highway, I was able to pull over after having a panic attack and almost being hit by other vehicles that were moving! I didnt drive it for another few months. Drove the vehicle 3 weeks ago, the…
About a month or so ago, it was raining and I got into my car to drive home from work. I only live about 1.5 miles down the road from my residence and this is the distance I drive (to and from) most days unless I have errands. I noticed I felt a drop of water on the top of my pant leg (mid thigh) but just thought it was where I was getting in the car and scraped against something. As we have had more rain the last couple of weeks, gradually I have noticed drops of water running (interior) down the windshield. Last week it started dropping pretty badly on my clothes and steering wheel so I…
