- The defect
- 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."
- What it can cause
- The driver may be unaware that the high beams are illuminated, reducing visibility for oncoming traffic, and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software, free of charge. The recall began April 7, 2021. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N556.
- 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 26,805 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 85% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Land Rover vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 3 times before this, most recently in March 2020 as 20V143000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 12 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 333 complaints with NHTSA, 74 of them before this campaign was filed. 9 of those name the exterior lighting, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in February 2018, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 12 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V248000 (electrical system), 24V364000 (back over prevention), 24V023000 (back over prevention), 23V393000 (electrical system).
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 February 25, 2021 as campaign 21V117000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
