Transport Canada recalls

High Voltage#2026196April 17, 2026
14,542 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the DC/DC converter could fail. As a result, the 12 V battery would not charge and a red "Stop Safely Electrical Fault Detected" warning message would be displayed. If this happens, and you continue to drive the vehicle, there could be a loss of power to the wheels and/or the vehicle's lights could turn off. Note: This recall only affects certain mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEV). Safety Risk: A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Exterior lights that don't work may make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Land Rover will notify owners by mail. The corrective actions for this recall are under development.
Structure#2025315June 12, 2025
2,529 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the rear doors may not latch properly when they are closed. As a result, the rear doors could open while driving. Safety Risk: A door that opens suddenly while driving could create the risk of injury and/or increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Land Rover will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to disable the unilatch keyless vehicle (KV) entry function.
Seats And Restraints#2021533August 26, 2021
4,056 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the passenger seat belt assemblies may contain defective automatic locking retractors (ALR). As a result, the seat belts may not properly lock to secure a child seat. Note: The vehicle's lower universal anchorage system (UAS) is not affected by this defect and may still be used to secure a child seat. Safety Risk: A seat belt that is used to secure a child restraint but is not properly locked could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: Land Rover will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the seat belts. They will be replaced, if necessary.
Electrical#2021381June 17, 2021
83 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the ground connection for the battery may not be properly attached to the chassis. This could cause various electrical problems. As a result, there could be a loss of electrical power while driving, which could cause the engine to turn off. Note: This is an expansion of Land Rover Recall N400 (Transport Canada Recall No. 2020-533). Safety Risk: A loss of power while driving could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Land Rover will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the battery ground stud on the chassis.
Lights And Instruments#2021102February 25, 2021
3,544 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, when the Automatic High Beam (AHB) system is turned on, the AHB tell-tale indicator on the instrument panel may not turn on. This could lead you to drive without knowing that high beam lights can turn on automatically. Canadian regulations require a tell-tale indicator to turn on when the automatic high beams are activated. Safety Risk: A driver that does not know that the high beam lights are turned on could create glare for other drivers and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Land Rover will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update vehicle software.
