“The contact owns a 2021 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the vehicle stalled and then failed to return to normal operation. The failure reoccurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed; however, the cause of the failure was not found. The messages "SOS System Inoperative" and "Battery Charging Failure" were displayed on the instrument panel, and the stability control became inoperative. The dealer stated that an engine temperature indication defect was detected, the battery lost power, exterior lights became inoperative, the vehicle indicated that the doors were open while the doors were closed, and that there were significant communication failures with the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched and became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V248000 (Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.”

“The safety defect remains unresolved, and my vehicle has been out of service since March 2026. Despite repeated attempts to obtain repairs, the manufacturer has been unable to provide the necessary replacement parts, leaving the vehicle unusable for an extended period of time. I am increasingly concerned about the severity of the defect and the potential safety risks it presents to vehicle occupants and the public. Based on information available through owner forums, dealer communications, and other reports, it appears that this issue may be affecting a significant number of vehicles and may not be an isolated incident. The ongoing inability to repair affected vehicles due to parts shortages raises additional concerns regarding the scope of the problem and the manufacturer's ability to adequately address the defect. Owners are being left without safe, operable vehicles for months while waiting for a resolution. Given the significant safety implications, the extended period my vehicle has remained out of service, the lack of available repair parts, and the apparent volume of similar complaints, I respectfully request that NHTSA reopen its review and conduct a…”

Air bags

2 reports
“I received a letter in August 2025 informing me about the passenger airbag recall for 2020-2025MY Land Rover Range Rover Evoque that said parts and remedy are not yet available. I received a second letter in February 2026 that said parts and remedy are available and advising I schedule a service appointment with Land Rover Range Rover dealer. I've called three Land Rover Range Rover dealerships in the DC-MD-VA area, and each one has told me "the parts are not available and are on backorder, and we don't know when they will be available" with no additional information about how I can get the parts/service when they are available. IF I'M DRIVING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND SOMEONE IS HURT OR DIES, WHO WILL BE HELD LIABLE? I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED TO SAFE STANDARDS. THANK YOU.”
