2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport recalls

Recall 26V-599: Electrical System

Reported Sep 17, 2026 · 23,677 vehicles affected · Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC

Problem: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2019-2024 Land Rover Range Rover Sport, 2020-2024 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Range Rover, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Land Rover Defender, 2021-2024 Land Rover Range Rover Velar, Jaguar E-Pace, F-Pace, and Land Rover Discovery vehicles.

Failure of the DC-DC converter will result in the loss of 12-Volt system charging and can lead to complete loss of drive power and exterior lighting.

Risk: A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will update the vehicle software, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed November 13, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available. Owners may contact Land Rover's customer service at 800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is E008.

Problem: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC. (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Discovery, and Range Rover Velar vehicles. The Auto High Beam (AHB) system does not indicate through the instrument cluster when the high beams are illuminated automatically. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Risk: The driver may be unaware that the high beams are illuminated, reducing visibility for oncoming traffic, and increasing the risk of a crash.

Problem: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Range Rover Sport vehicles equipped with 19-inch wheels. The tire inflation pressure label and the tire placard label state the incorrect tire pressures for the vehicle.

Problem: Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Range Rover Sport vehicles equipped with 20-inch, 21-inch, or 22-inch wheels. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) recommended pressure has been set incorrectly in the instrument cluster. As a result, the TPMS warning light will not illuminate when tire pressure reaches 25% below the cold inflation pressure stated on the tire placard. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."

Risk: Drivers may unknowingly operate the vehicle with low tire pressure, possibly causing tire tread separation, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Electrical System · reported Nov 4, 2026
I am submitting this complaint regarding our Range Rover Sport HSE P400 due to ongoing mechanical issues and the unacceptable service experience we have encountered with Land Rover. We have brought our vehicle to the dealership approximately six times for the same recurring issue. The vehicle repeatedly displays battery warning lights, experiences starting issues, and ultimately will not start. Despite multiple visits and attempts to resolve the problem, Land Rover has yet to identify and permanently correct the underlying issue. Throughout these visits, we have been given different…
Electrical System · reported Oct 30, 2026
My vehicle started showing a battery high voltage error light and was coming on and off at random times while driving. I reported this to the JLR dealership and they scheduled an appointment to have it serviced. Even though the vehicle was showing signs of battery issues which was an active known recall, they never checked it or mentioned it. They advised that I needed a main battery which cost me almost $1,000. As soon as I cranked the vehicle to leave, the light came on again. I went back inside to advise that it wasn’t the main battery because the light is still on. They advised that…
Structure · at 87,000 miles · reported Oct 23, 2026
The contact owns a 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for routine maintenance. During an inspection, the technician discovered that the fuel tank cover protectors were rusted and the fuel tank was visible. The dealer confirmed that the covers needed to be replaced. The failure mileage was 87,000.
Electrical System · at 60,000 miles · reported Oct 13, 2026
The contact owns a 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V248000 (Electrical System); however, the part required for the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The contact stated that while driving at 40 MPH, the vehicle experienced a total loss of motive power, and a "Shutdown" warning message was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed to a dealer…
Unknown or Other · reported Sep 30, 2026
My vehicle is currently subject to NHTSA recall # 26V-248. Then I started getting a check engine light with codes P0A1F-96 and P0A7B which are directly related to the recall. I took the vehicle to a Land Rover dealership and was told they are unrelated. My vehicle has only 46,000 miles on it and I was told I needed a new MHEV lithium Ion battery and that I would have to pay for it out of pocket. These batteries should last well over 100K miles if not for the direct problems caused by the recall. Having to pay for this out of pocket rather than the dealership covering it seems completely…
