ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
- The defect
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Discovery vehicles. A loose contact between the battery ground stud and the chassis may result in various electrical faults, possibly causing a loss of electrical power or the vehicle to shut down while driving.
- What it can cause
- If the vehicle shuts down or loses exterior lighting while driving there could be an increased risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ground stud, free of charge. The recall began December 17, 2020. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-369-1000. Land Rover's number for this recall is N400.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 11,084 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 80% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Land Rover vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 6 times before this, most recently in November 2020 as 20V683000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 56 complaints with NHTSA, 6 of them before this campaign was filed. 23 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in February 2019, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 23V393000 (electrical system), 21V668000 (seat belts), 21V457000 (electrical system), 21V117000 (exterior lighting).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC with NHTSA on November 10, 2020 as campaign 20V694000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
