BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

24V023000 · January 18, 2024

The defect
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles equipped with a Surround Camera System. Water may enter into the rearview camera, which can cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display or display a distorted image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
The risk
A rearview camera image that does not display while in reverse decreases the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
The remedy
Dealers will inspect the rearview camera and add a new seal or replace the camera, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed to Range Rover owners March 4, 2024. Interim notification letters were mailed to Range Rover Sport owners March 7, 2024. Range Rover Sport owners will receive a second notice once remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N778.

Defect investigations (1)

An investigation means NHTSA has decided a pattern is worth examining. A preliminary evaluation is often closed with no action; an engineering analysis is the stage that usually precedes a recall.

Front Steering Knuckle Fractures

EA26003

Still open engineering analysis · opened April 24, 2026

the steering

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) is upgrading its Preliminary Evaluation (PE25006) of front steering knuckle fractures on model year (MY) 2014 through 2017 Range Rover Sport vehicles to an Engineering Analysis.  ODI opened PE25006 on June 27, 2025, after receiving 12 Vehicle Owner's Questionnaire (VOQ) reports of the front aluminum steering knuckles fracturing in these vehicles. The reports describe the fractures occurring at the joint where the steering knuckle attaches to the upper control arm ball joint in one or both steering knuckles.  Fracture of the front suspension knuckle can lead to detachment of the upper suspension arm. Detachment of the upper suspension arm results in the driver’s inability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. ODI reviewed information supplied by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in response to Information Request letters as well as reviewed the data with JLR on numerous occasions. ODI further reviewed relevant data on a peer vehicle with a significantly similar steering knuckle design, the MY 2014 through 2017 Range Rover.  Much of the information is contradictory and requires a deeper analysis that is available in an Engineering Analysis. On August 5, 2025, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) filed safety recall 25V514.  This recall covers certain MY 2014 and all MY 2015-2017 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles.  The remedy for recall 25V514 addresses knuckles with and without a visible fracture.  Knuckles that have developed a visible fracture will be replaced with a new knuckle of a substantially similar design.  Knuckles with no fracture visibly present will have a brace attached to the upper portion of the front steering knuckle.  JLR states that the purpose of the brace is to prevent the component from completely separating should a fracture develop. NHTSA continues to receive allegations of fractures occurring in the front steering knuckles of Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles.  Two of the most recent VOQs received by ODI involve front steering knuckle fractures occurring on MY 2020 and MY 2021 Range Rover L405 vehicles.  ODI will continue to investigate the component design and assess the potential safety risk as part of this Engineering Analysis and evaluate the recall remedies for Recall 25V514.  Further, the scope of this Engineering Analysis will be expanded to include MY 2018-2022 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles as they have a substantially similar component design.

POWER TRAIN

1 injured · crash · towed · 17,000 miles

I EXPERIENCED AN UNINTENDED POWERED ROLLAWAY. SPECIFICALLY, AS I WAS REVERSING OUT OF MY GARAGE, I NOTICED SOMETHING ON THE GROUND SO I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO PICK IT UP. WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE, I WAS STANDING IN THE WEDGE BETWEEN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE OPEN DRIVER'S DOOR, AND THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ROLLED IN REVERSE. I DID NOT HEAR OR SEE ANY WARNINGS AT ANY TIME THAT ALERTED ME THAT I WAS IN ANY DANGER. I QUICKLY TRIED TO GET BACK INTO THE CAR TO STOP IT (MY 4-YR-OLD SON WAS INSIDE) AND, WHEN TRYING TO GET BACK IN, I WAS PUSHED OUT, FELL TO THE GROUND, AND FOUND MYSELF FIGHTING WITH THE DOOR AND THE TIRE COMING TOWARD MY HEAD AND BODY. I STUCK MY RIGHT HAND INTO THE CAR TO PRESS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The fuel tank protective shield underneath my vehicle has severely rusted and corroded, with visible perforations forming through the metal (photos attached). This shield protects the fuel tank from road debris and also helps secure the tank to the vehicle. The corrosion appears to be caused by galvanic corrosion: the steel fuel tank shield is bolted directly to an aluminum heat shield, and the contact between these dissimilar metals accelerates corrosion of the steel component. This is a known issue affecting numerous vehicles of this make and model, suggesting a design defect. Safety concerns: The shield is structural — it helps hold the fuel tank in place. Continued deterioration could

NHTSA complaint 11735838, quoted in part. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The steel fuel tank shield and mounting cradle assembly on my Land Rover Range Rover (L405) is experiencing catastrophic structural failure due to excessive corrosion. This appears to be a result of galvanic corrosion between the steel cradle and the aluminum chassis components. The corrosion has caused the metal straps and support brackets to rot through completely, compromising the physical security of the fuel tank. This poses an unreasonable safety risk, as the fuel tank is no longer properly supported and is at risk of detaching from the vehicle while in motion. Furthermore, the jagged, rusted edges of the failing shield are in direct contact with the fuel tank, creating a potential

SEAT BELTS
I was driving on the highway during heavy rain and there was a huge leak coming through the window in the backseat started dripping all over the seat and all over the seatbelts spreading above head into the front. I immediately pulled over because it scared me. I was scared it was going to continual leaking into the front steering and airbags

NHTSA complaint 11726620. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Driving down the road and the vehicle lost all fuel pressure and engine shut off in the middle of the road. Turns out to be a catastrophic Bosch CP4 failure. Thankfully I was not on the highway otherwise this likely would've caused an accident because besides steering and brakes i had no way to get the car out of the road and probably wouldn't have made it to the shoulder on the 5 lane highway. My safety was put at risk by having to sit on a busy road unable to move the car hoping no one came up and hit me. The issue has been confirmed by my independent service center. The component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance or anyone else besides my mechanic. The battery
