Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Plug-in Hybrid Battery Capacity
The manufacturer has identified a concern on certain Range Rover and Range Rover Sport plug-in hybrid vehicles where due to inadequate penetration of welding between the cells the battery’s capacity and therefore the vehicle’s electric range may be depleted below the design intent condition. A below-specification electric range will not meet the as-certified value for the vehicle and is therefore non-compliant to emissions legislation.
Vehicles will have the hybrid battery/modules replaced.

Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Samsung PHEV Battery Cell Degradation
A concern has been identified on certain Range Rover & Range Rover Sport PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) vehicles containing high-voltage batteries with cells manufactured between 11th and 12th April 2018. Cathode damage introduced during the cell folding process can lead to high time-in-service cell degradation.
Data will be extracted from vehicles then the high voltage traction battery pack will be replaced.

Gear Shift Module Moisture Ingress
On Affected vehicles it is possible that moisture has entered the Gear Shift Module (GSM) during the assembly process. Under certain conditions there is a risk that this moisture could result in non-illumination of the Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicating the selected gear. Non-illumination of the LED gear indicator adjacent to the shifter would not conform to regulated requirements for automatic transmission control position indicator illumination.
Affected vehicles will have the Gear Shift Module replaced.
Discovery (L319) and Range Rover Sport (L320) Tow Ball Detachment
The manufacturer has determined that in affected vehicles the instructions provided on the method of use of detachable tow balls does not adequately warn of a non-obvious risk which could lead to a failure of the tow ball mechanism causing in-use detachment of the tow ball and trailer detachment.
Customers will be provided with an additional retaining bracket to fit to the vehicle when using the detachable tow ball together with full installation instructions.

Security Guidance
Jaguar Land Rover in conjunction with law enforcement and insurance bodies is aware of the increase in thefts of vehicles in specific geographical locations within the United Kingdom. there is no fault with Jaguar Land Rover's security systems and they continue to meet stringent automotive legislation. Jaguar Land Rover is offering owners guidance on how to maximise vehicle security and protect against theft.
Vehicle registered keepers will be sent a security guidance letter only - there is no repair action.
Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Second Row Centre Seat Belt Buckle Cable Misaligned
On affected vehicles the second-row centre seat belt buckle may have been manufactured incorrectly. An internal obstruction to the seat belt tongue can prevent correct latching. In the event of a crash an insecurely latched seat belt buckle could increase the risk of personal injury.
Vehicles will have the centre seat belt buckle and buckle retaining bolt replaced.

Security Enhancement
For affected vehicles the manufacturer has developed a software enhancement to further increase vehicle security.
The software enhancement will deploy this update and reduce the theft risk.
2024 Model Year Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Loss of Drive
For affected vehicles the clutch plates within the hybrid transmission may have been manufactured with a flatness out of tolerance to the engineering specification.
Diagnostic test to determine whether the clutch packs within the transmission are operating as expected. Any transmissions which fail the test will be replaced.

AJ20-D6 and AJ20-P6 Engine Oil Filter Housing Cracked
On affected vehicles the incorrect specification of plastic was used to manufacture the oil filter housing. This housing may over time and with vehicle use crack. This could result in oil under pressure leaking and coming into contact with hot components of the engine which may result in a fire. Additionally oil may leak onto the road surface posing a skid hazard.
Replace the oil filter housing complete with filter and associated O-rings.
PHEV Traction Battery Busbar Weld Penetration
For the affected vehicle a concern has been identified where the there is an inadequate depth of weld (penetration) between the busbar and the anode in the module of the Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) battery.
Replacement of the traction battery.
AJ20-D6 Fuel Injector Clamp Cracked
A concern has been identified where the clamps used to secure the fuel injectors into the cylinder head on certain AJ20-D6 engines may crack allowing the injector to come loose. This loose injector could become unseated allowing fuel to be pushed past the injector seal from the combustion chamber or the fuel feed system.
A fuel leak in this area could result in fuel spill onto hot engine components which may result in a fire.
Range Rover Sport Tail lamp Failure
On affected vehicles the right-hand tailgate and body mounted rear lamps may experience water ingress leading to one or more lamp failures.
The right-hand tailgate and body mounted lamps will be replaced

Install two rivets and seal with approved sealant.
On affected Range Rover vehicles fitted with V8 Gasoline NC11 engines the fixings used to secure the engine mounted oil cooler hoses have been found to have inadequate thread engagement.

Vehicles will have the engine oil cooler pipe fixings inspected and replaced if required.
For certain vehicles the bolt connecting the busbar to the traction battery module connector has not achieved the required clamp force. Arcing at the joint and excessive heat generation cannot be ruled out with the consequence that this may lead to a vehicle fire.

Replacement of the High Voltage battery
For certain 2023 Model Year 3.0L AJ20-P6 Land Rover Range Rover Range Rover Sport Range Rover Velar Discovery and Defender vehicles a small number of engines the cam carrier oil gallery hasn t been fully drilled. As a result the oil channel could be blocked leading to accumulation of oil against the pressure control valve rubber membrane and subsequently an external oil leak or increased oil carryover into the air intake system.
