Which Car Is It?
Choose the make and model so we can match recalls to your car.
The Land Rover Discovery Sport's largest recalls are security updates shared across the range: R/2024/146 covered 242,061 vehicle-records, with follow-ups in R/2024/145 and R/2025/149. These are usually quick software visits. The recalls with the most direct safety effect are mechanical. Diesel Discovery Sports with the AJ21-D4 engine are in R/2024/113, which fixes a turbo oil feed pipe that could leak, a fire risk, and earlier cars had a fuel leak recall (R/2016/131). If you smell oil or fuel, stop and get the car checked; see fire risk recalls. Plug-in hybrid P300e models have their own recalls, including an inverter software update shared with the Evoque (R/2025/280, 28,937 vehicle-records). In 2020 R/2020/322 fixed an electrical overload that could cause a component failure. Any Land Rover retailer can confirm by VIN which recalls apply.
