Land Rover Recall FAQs

All vehicles are thoroughly tested by the NHTSA to ensure safe operation on Jersey City streets. Sometimes, these tests bring to light factory defects in the vehicle, its seats, its tires, and other components. If these defects are determined to pose a safety risk, the NHTSA issues a Land Rover recall.

If you receive a Land Rover recall notice concerning your vehicle, what’s next? Fortunately, car owners are off the hook for repairing problems caused by a factory defect. Auto manufacturers are required to find a fix for all affected vehicles, which is then performed at an authorized Land Rover service center like Land Rover Englewood—at no charge to you.

To help you navigate this situation smoothly, we’ve answered the most common Land Rover recall questions in the FAQ below.

How Can I Check for Land Rover Recalls?

If you’ve registered your Land Rover vehicle, you will automatically receive notice of any Land Rover recalls affecting it. What if you think you may have missed a notice or would like to perform a Land Rover recall check on your own? You can do exactly that with the Land Rover recall checker.

You’ll need your vehicle’s VIN (vehicle information number) to carry out your Land Rover recall check. This identifying number is unique to your vehicle, and it can usually be found on a plate on the driver’s-side windshield, visible from the exterior of the vehicle. In some vehicles, the VIN is located on the certification label in the driver’s door opening.

Keep in mind that the Land Rover recall checker can only find Land Rover recalls issued within the last 15 years. To access records for older Land Rover recalls, reach out to the Land Rover Customer Relationship Center.

Why Is There a Land Rover Recall?

Every Land Rover vehicle undergoes a battery of tests before ever leaving the factory floor, but it’s impossible to entirely eliminate the risk of manufacturing defects. So, why might there be a Land Rover recall on your vehicle—and what constitutes a “defect”? The NHTSA issues Land Rover recalls when the “performance, construction, a component, or material of a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment” may:

• Pose a risk to motor vehicle safety.
• Exist in a group of vehicles of the same design or manufacture.
• Exist in items of equipment of the same type and manufacture.
