2023–2024 Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque: Back Over Prevention recall
NHTSA campaign 25V016000 · 28K units potentially affected · filed Jan 16, 2025
What's wrong
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."
Why it matters
A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
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.
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.
