2018 Land Rover Range Rover

Defect. Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles equipped with a Surround Camera System. Water may enter into the rearview camera, which can cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display or display a distorted image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Risk. A rearview camera image that does not display while in reverse decreases the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of injury or crash.

Remedy. Dealers will inspect the rearview camera and add a new seal or replace the camera, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed to Range Rover owners March 4, 2024. Interim notification letters were mailed to Range Rover Sport owners March 7, 2024. Range Rover Sport owners will receive a second notice once remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N778.

The contact owns a 2018 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the message flashing forward alert not available, brake assist not available, transmission fault, AEB not available, HDC not available were displayed. Additionally, the stability control, forward alert not available, Emergency brake assist not available, and transmission fault warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that on several occasions after restarting the vehicle, the warning lights were no longer displayed; however, the transmission malfunctioned, and the vehicle failed to immediately drive forward. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and was diagnosed with engine failure. The engine was replaced, but after retrieving the vehicle, the failures immediately reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The cause of the failures was not yet determined. The failure mileage was 67,000

Following a routine oil and filter service and starter motor replacement at an authorized Land Rover dealer, the engine seized within 21 miles of vehicle delivery. The vehicle was brought to the dealer for a no-start condition. A prior independent shop had evaluated the vehicle and found exclusively electrical issues — no engine, fluid, or cooling concerns. The dealer performed a multi-point inspection confirming no fluid leaks and no engine concerns. The dealer then performed an oil and filter service and starter motor replacement. The dealer's own technician notes state the vehicle was started and the concern was confirmed rectified. One mile was driven across nine days of service. Fourteen minutes after taking delivery, warning lights appeared. The following morning, a RED Engine Overheating warning illuminated. The engine seized shortly thereafter, rendering the vehicle inoperable on a public road. The dealer confirmed in writing: spun bearing, rod knock, and metal shavings throughout the engine. The dealer's Service Manager also confirmed in writing that drained oil is not examined for metal contamination as part of their standard oil change procedure. A bearing in pre-failure condition sheds metal particulate into engine oil. This metal contamination would have been detectable in the drained oil had it been examined. The vehicle is currently inoperable and in the dealer's custody. The component is available for inspection upon request. Warning lamps appeared 14 minutes

The infotainment system in this 2018 Range Rover has exhibited a recurring defect since at least January 2026. The defect manifests in multiple ways: the upper screen intermittently goes blank, the lower screen has been observed stuck flashing, and audio output skips and varies in speed during playback. The system integrates with the rear camera display, audible alerts, and climate controls, so a malfunction affects functions relied upon during vehicle operation, including rear visibility when reversing. The component is available for inspection upon request. On June 15, 2026, while driving on a freeway, the upper screen went blank momentarily without warning. The blackout occurred during normal driving conditions, with no prior warning lamps or alerts, and was unsettling under the circumstances. The vehicle remained controllable, but the incident raised a safety concern because a sudden display blackout at freeway speed is a distraction risk, and because the system is integrated with safety-relevant display and alert functions. The defect has been presented to the authorized dealer multiple times since January 2026. The January service order documented the concern as a continuation of issues following a prior recall and was classified as a warranty matter. The dealer reported being unable to reproduce the defect during a road test. The vehicle was returned for the same concern in April 2026. The dealer's records note updates performed to the IPC, ICDM, AAM, and IDMA modules

Repeated issues of low cooling warning leading to engine overheating - severely resulting in tow in. Prior Land Rover dealer repair (prior to my purchase under certified warranty) was inadequate, causing coolant crossovers in front and rear to be cracked. Engine overheated steamed close to home, and vehicle towed in to LR dealer in area. Took two months to repair and at time, they thought engine was blown, but assured me repairs complete. Within 6 months, same warning light, took to LR Dallas dealer and said no issue. Within 13 months of major repair, taken into LR Dallas dealer, and now told I need a brand new engine. Repeated repairs the same engine defect, issue and now LR won't repair under warranty (now) when I was told a few weeks ago, they would repair with new engine. Now, have a completely worthless car, that was certified 2.75 years ago. Total shop time for all this 5 months and counting.

There's problem with the wiring harness under the drivers seat, causing a fault in the airbag sensor, and the airbag warning light to illuminate. If you look online, many owners are having this same isssue. I have had this Airbag warning light illuminating off and on my 2018 Range Rover for over 6 months now. When I raise the seat to its highest position and "wiggle" the wire harness, the airbag warning light on the dashboard will extinguish. Thank you google! and the many owners with this problem for spelling out the work around! I had the same problem with my wife's 2015 Range Rover Sport (Vin [XXX] ). Unfortunately, I didn't know the work around and the Range Rover Dealership charge me $1500 for a new wiring harness. The Danger is the vehicle's airbag may not work in the event of a head on collision. Range Rover should be forced to inspect/replace all airbag wiring harnesses under the drivers seat.

The spoiler cracked when I closed the rear door using the remote. A piece of the spoiler flew off while I was driving.

2018 Land Rover Range Rover HSE V6, AWD. Two issues: 1.) When shifting into reverse, the rear camera does not come up on the main screen and you have to shift back into park, wait a few seconds and then shift back into reverse. Sometimes it may take 2-3 times to do this for the rear camera to come up on the screen. I am running the latest software/firmware version that Range Rover has automatically sent out (checked by clicking on "update software" and it says you have the latest). 2.) When the rear camera does come up, there is a noticeable, choppy lag of the frame rate on the screen. This means that while you are moving, the lag on the screen is delayed and is not real time while you are reversing. This is extremely dangerous as approaching cars or potential humans could come into your reverse path and you won't notice it until it's too late due to the lag/delay of the camera.

One or more rigid pipes in the coolant system failed when driving down the interstate. This resulted in almost immediate overheating and the computer curtailed engine power, apparently to prevent permanent engine damage. This was very dangerous, as I was in heavy 80+ mph traffic and lost power before I could pull off onto the shoulder. This is apparently a common problem, as the rigid pipes separate at the manufacturing seam. I was still under warranty, and Land Rover had us towed to the closest dealer which was 75 miles away. That dealer told me they had two other Land Rovers in the shop with the same identical problem, and that these pipes fail "by 50,000 miles every time" (I was at 47,500 miles). The pipes in question are on all the 5.0 liter V8's used in Land Rover and Jaguar products, but the failure seems more common on Supercharged versions of the V8 (which I have). The pipes are under the supercharger and subjected to excessive heat/cool cycling which leads to failure.

In December 2020, this vehicle had been parked for approximately 30 minutes; after starting the vehicle, the "Power Steering Electronic Assist" light came on; there was no power steering available and it was almost impossible to steer the car. The car was towed to the Land Rover dealer; after 2-3 weeks, the repair was completed. They had to replace a wiring harness to the electronic power steering. We were never told why the harness failed. On November 15, 2021, the same issue occurred. The car had been parked for about an hour. Upon starting, the "Power Steering Electronic Assist" light came on again. Again, it was almost impossible to steer the car. Again, it was towed to the Land Rover dealer. Today, November 19, 2021 I was shown the problem with the wiring harness. Apparently, mice had chewed through the plastic wiring harness conduit and then into six wires of the harness itself. Since damage wasn't as bad as it was the previous year, the service department was able to splice wires back together to make the vehicle drivable again. This vehicle is parked outside in a parking lot 24*7, 365 days per year. There is no garage available. While we were lucky that the failure occurred when the vehicle was parked, we shutter to wonder what would have happened if the power steering had failed on the open highway traveling 70 MPH, or even in town at slower speeds. It is almost physically impossible to turn the wheels without power steering. I believe Land Rover should come up with

THE CENTER DISPLAY SCREEN TURNS BLACK AND STAYS THAT WAY FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. THE CLIMATE CONTROL TURNS ITSELF OFF AND ON. THE BACKUP DISPLAY VIDEO STAYS ON EVEN AFTER MOVING INTO DRIVE AND REACHING THE REQUIRED SPEEDS. IVE HAD NO RESPONSE FROM LAND ROVER CUSTOMER SERVICE SINCE DECEMBER 2020

VEHICLE WENT FROM PARK TO REVERSE BY ITSELF. DRIVERS DOOR WAS WIDE OPEN WHEN MY WIFE STARTED VEHICLE AND BY IT SELF IT ENGAGED IN REVERSE AND RAN THE DOOR INTO A WALL. THE VEHICLE ALMOST RAN OVER MY WIFE WHILE SHE WAS ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO JUMP BACK IN AND PUSH THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. MY SON WAS BEHIND THE CAR LOADING ITEMS. LUCKILY HE HAD MOVED SECONDS BEFORE.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE BACKUP CAMERA NOT ENGAGING, LAND ROVER CAMPAIGN N637. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. MY BACKUP CAMERA STILL DOES NOT CONSISTENTLY WORK. SOMETIMES IT WORKS; SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT WORK.

WITH FEWER THAN 15K MILES ON IT, THE LAND ROVER WINDSHIELD HAS RETAINED FOUR ROCK CHIPS AND A LONG CRACK ACROSS THE FRONT WINDSHIELD GLASS WITH NORMAL DRIVING. THIS PILKINGTON GLASS IS EXTREMELY FRAGILE AND DANGEROUS. I HAVE CONTACTED LAND ROVER AND MY LOCAL FORT WORTH DEALER BECAUSE IT IS INSIDE WARRANTY PERIOD AND I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE WINDSHIELD SUSTAINS DAMAGE OUTSIDE THE EXPECTED DAMAGE FROM THE TINIEST BIT OF GRAVEL. THIS I MY FIFTH LAND ROVER AND MY THIRD WINDSHIELD TO REPLACE. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO LAND ROVER'S ATTENTION, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO REFER TO IT AS "AN INSURANCE CLAIM" THOUGH I AM PRESENTING IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE & ASKING THAT IT BE ADDRESSED IN SOME MEANINGFUL WAY. THE CAR WAS IN REGULAR HIGHWAY TRAFFIC, TRAVELLING WELL BEHIND OTHER TRAFFIC WHEN ALL THREE ROCK CHIPS AND CRACK OCCURRED. LAND ROVER SERVICE MANAGER, ROBERT SMILEY, HAS REPEATEDLY TRIED TO HAND THIS PROBLEM BACK TO LAND ROVER. RATHER THAN LOOK AT THE ISSUE, THEY'VE REFERRED IT BACK TO HIM AND HE HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS IT FOR OVER A MONTH. I WAS NOT OFFERED A LOANER, BUT TOLD THAT "IF [YOU] DON'T FEEL SAFE, THEN DON'T DRIVE THE CAR." MR. SMILEY, JOE QUANGUAN, AND LAND ROVER HAVE TREATED MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS WINDOW AS A JOKE. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO ADDRESS IT AND TO DOCUMENT THAT THIS GLASS CONFORMS TO THE STANDARDS PLACED UPON IMPORTS BY THE US, IF SUCH STANDARDS EXIST.
