Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the touch screen to remain blank when the vehicle is started. As a result, the rearview camera image would not appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a 10-inch touch screen. Safety Risk: A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Land Rover will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the touch screen software.

Issue: On certain vehicles, the driver and front passenger seat belt pretensioners could be damaged. As a result, the seat belt pretensioners may not work properly in a crash. Safety Risk: A seat belt pretensioner that does not work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Corrective Actions: Land Rover will contact owners by mail and instruct you to bring your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the front seat belt pretensioner tubes for damage. The dealer will replace the driver and front passenger seat belt retractors, if necessary.
Summary
Issue: On certain vehicles, the passenger seat belt assemblies may contain defective automatic locking retractors (ALR). As a result, the seat belts may not properly lock to secure a child seat. Note: The vehicle's lower universal anchorage system (UAS) is not affected by this defect and may still be used to secure a child seat. Safety Risk: A seat belt that is used to secure a child restraint but is not properly locked could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Corrective Actions: Land Rover will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update vehicle software. The update will prevent an electrical overload failure in the DCDC converter. Land Rover recommends that all occupants, including pets, should exit the vehicle when it is parked. Additionally, you should park your vehicle outdoors, and away from other vehicles or buildings until the recall repairs are completed.
Summary
On certain vehicles originally sold, or currently registered in areas of heavy road salt usage during winter months (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador), the bolts that attach the power steering gear assist motor to the gear housing may corrode and fracture. This could allow the power steering gear assist motor to move, causing the belt to slip which could result in a loss of power steering assist. A loss of power steering assist would require additional steering effort which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the aluminum mounting bolts with coated steel bolts and will apply a corrosion-preventative sealer around the gear housing and connecting bolts. If a bolt is found to be broken or breaks during the course of the repair, a replacement steering gear will be installed.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the brazing fuel rail end caps may not seal properly which could cause a fuel leak over time. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel rail.
Summary
Certain vehicles may have been equipped with front seat belt pretensioners that do not meet specifications. This could cause the pretensioners to fail to deploy in the event of a crash, which could increase the risk of injury to the front seat occupants. Correction: Dealers will check the production date of the front seat belt assemblies (which incorporate the pretensioners) and replace as necessary.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the front lower control arm ball joints may fail due to a manufacturing process error. if this occurs, the knuckle could separate from the front lower control arm, which could affect vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction : Dealers will inspect and replace the lower control arm to knuckle bolt and nut as necessary.
Summary
On certain vehicles, the transmission wire harness connections may have been improperly crimped. This could cause an unexpected shift to neutral which could result in a loss of motive power, which in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions may increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the transmission serial number and, if required, update vehicle software to initiate "limp home mode" where the condition is detected.
Summary
Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The rear license plate lamp housing may fall out and fail to illuminate the license plate properly as required by the standard. Correction: Dealers will replace both rear license plate lamp housings with an updated version.
