SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect

- What it can cause
- Detached brake calipers can reduce braking ability and cause structural wheel damage, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will reinstall the brake calipers, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed January 18, 2024. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N848.
- 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.nhtsa.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 121 vehicles this is a small campaign: 67% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2023, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Land Rover vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 9 times before this, most recently in January 2015 as 15V042000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 80 complaints with NHTSA, 14 of them before this campaign was filed. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in May 2022, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V389000 (air bags), 26V248000 (electrical system), 25V016000 (back over prevention), 24V450000 (engine and engine cooling).
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.
