Every Land Rover Safety Recall In The UK, By Model And Year, With What Each Fault Means And How To Get It Fixed

Land Rover has 159 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, including 66 since 2020. The most common recent faults involve high-voltage battery, seat belts and suspension. Enter your registration to check your Land Rover; you won't usually pay for a recall repair at a franchised Land Rover dealer.¹

Three recent Land Rover recalls stand out for UK owners. R/2026/245 covers 151,632 Defender, Discovery and Range Rover vehicle-records because the driver's airbag may not deploy, so check your registration even on a newer car. R/2024/326 fixes a tow ball that could detach on the Discovery (L319) and Range Rover Sport (L320), covering 196,170 vehicle-records, which matters if you tow a caravan, horsebox or trailer. And R/2024/146, the largest, is a security enhancement for the Discovery, Discovery Sport and Range Rover models, covering 242,061, followed by further security guidance in 2025 (R/2025/149). Plug-in hybrid Range Rovers and Defenders have their own high-voltage battery recalls; see our electric car recalls page. Land Rover and Jaguar share some recall codes, so a code on your letter may also appear under the Jaguar recall check. Any Land Rover retailer can check your VIN and book the work.
