BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE

The defect
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2023 Discovery Sport, 2023-2024 Defender, and 2023 Range Rover Evoque vehicles. The touchscreen in the center console may go blank at vehicle startup, resulting in the rearview camera image not displaying as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
What it can cause
A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.
What the dealer does
Dealers will update the touchscreen software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 3, 2025. Owners may contact Land Rover's customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N972.
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 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 28,370 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 86% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.

Land Rover vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 5 times before this, most recently in December 2024 as 24V947000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for 3 of the 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 112 complaints with NHTSA, 42 of them before this campaign was filed. 4 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in May 2022, 2 years before this filing.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V389000 (air bags), 26V248000 (electrical system), 25V645000 (back over prevention), 25V454000 (air bags).

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 January 16, 2025 as campaign 25V016000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
