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.

Seats And Restraints#2021533August 26, 2021
4,056 units affected

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.

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.
