AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
- The defect
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2020-2026 Land Rover Defender, 2021-2026 Discovery, and 2022-2026 Range Rover vehicles. The driver’s air bag clockspring connector may corrode, which can cause the air bag not to deploy as intended.
- What it can cause
- An air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will apply a protective lubricant gel to the driver’s air bag connector terminals, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed August 3, 2026. Owners may contact Land Rover's customer service at 800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is D120.
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 250,857 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 96% of the 19,618 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 474. It covers model years 2020 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Land Rover vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 21 times before this, most recently in July 2025 as 25V454000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 14 of the 18 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 398 complaints with NHTSA, 283 of them before this campaign was filed. 7 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in August 2020, 5 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 32 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V678000 (back over prevention), 26V615000 (seat belts), 26V599000 (electrical system), 26V458000 (back over prevention).
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 June 12, 2026 as campaign 26V389000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
