SEAT BELTS:FRONT:WARNING LIGHT/DEVICES
- The defect
- Jaguar Land Rover North America LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2026 Land Rover Range Rover Velar, Range Rover Sport, and Range Rover vehicles. The seat belt warning system may not activate the audible warning chime as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to conform with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
- What it can cause
- A seat belt chime that fails to alert occupants that they are unbuckled can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the audio amplifier, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed July 10, 2026. Owners may contact Land Rover's customer service at 800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is D105.
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 76 vehicles this is a small campaign: 73% 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, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Land Rover vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 9 times before this, most recently in March 2026 as 26V163000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 26V389000 (air bags), 26V097000 (structure), 26V005000 (equipment).
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 May 12, 2026 as campaign 26V297000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
