Remedy pending

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. The DC-DC converter may malfunction due to an electrical overload that can occur during high power demand. Additionally, a software error can cause the DC-DC converter to stop functioning at vehicle start-up under certain circumstances. 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.

Electrical system

6 reports
“My vehicle is subject to NHTSA Recall 26V-248 / Jaguar Land Rover Recall D126 involving the electrical system and DC/DC converter. I have not experienced the recalled failure, warning message, loss of motive power, or loss of exterior lighting. I am filing because the recall remains unrepaired and the remedy is unavailable for my vehicle. The recall notice I received is dated June 10, 2026. NHTSA states that DC/DC converter failure can cause loss of 12-volt charging and ultimately loss of motive power and exterior lighting, increasing crash risk. I routinely rely on this vehicle to transport my children. On August 26, 2026, at an authorized Land Rover dealership, a service advisor discussed Recall D126, the safety concern, and confirmed the repair was unavailable. I brought the vehicle home, parked it, and stopped routinely using it. On October 5, 2026, I contacted the Land Rover Customer Relationship Center. A representative told me continued driving would be “at my own risk” and, after I explained my concerns about transporting my children, advised me not to drive. I was also told the repair might not be available until January 2027. JLR reported the recall…”
