Land Rover Recalls

Check open Land Rover recalls by VIN. CheckMyVIN queries NHTSA's live recall API on every lookup — no stale snapshots, no signup.

How Land Rover recall lookups work

When you enter a Land Rover VIN, CheckMyVIN first decodes the vehicle (make, model, model year) against NHTSA VPIC. Those three fields are then sent to the NHTSA recallsByVehicle API, which returns every open campaign on file. Each result shows the official NHTSA campaign number (format: two-digit year, "V" for vehicle, six-digit sequence — e.g. 19V472000), the affected component, a paraphrased plain-English summary, and the dealer remedy. Land Rover dealers perform recall work at no charge regardless of who currently owns the vehicle.

Why check Land Rover recalls before buying used?

A used-car dealer is not required to complete open recalls before sale in most US states. Run the VIN before the test drive — if a recall is open, you can either ask the dealer to complete it before delivery, negotiate the price, or schedule the free fix at a Land Rover authorized dealer after purchase.

Notable past Land Rover recall campaigns

A few well-documented campaigns to show the kind of data CheckMyVIN surfaces per VIN. Click any campaign number for the full record on nhtsa.gov. Summaries below paraphrase the official NHTSA records — verify against the source for the authoritative wording.

NHTSA campaign 18V337000

Fuel system, gasoline: fuel gauge / engine management software

2017 Land Rover Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Discovery

A software fault could make the fuel gauge read low and light the low-fuel warning when the tank still held fuel, and the engine-management software could then cut the engine after roughly 17 more miles. An unexpected engine shutdown can cause loss of power-brake assist and loss of drive power, raising crash risk. Land Rover dealers install a software update at no charge.

NHTSA campaign 19V350000

Seat belts: driver's emergency locking retractor (ELR)

2016-2017 Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport

The driver's seat-belt emergency locking retractor may not lock at the correct g-force, so the belt fails to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 209. If the driver brakes hard before a crash the belt may not lock as intended, increasing injury risk. Land Rover dealers inspect the seat-belt assembly and replace it if necessary at no charge.

What CheckMyVIN does not do

Some recalls are VIN-specific within a model year — only certain build dates or option packages are affected. NHTSA's public API returns the campaign for the year/make/model; for the final "is my exact VIN affected" answer, Land Rover also publishes a VIN-specific lookup on their owners site, and you can search any campaign number on the NHTSA recall portal. CheckMyVIN cites every campaign by its official number so you can verify independently.
