2024 Land Rover Range Rover oil filter housing can crack and leak

Jaguar Land Rover is recalling certain 2023–2024 Defender and 2024 Discovery, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Range Rover Velar vehicles because the oil filter housing can crack and leak oil into the engine compartment, increasing the risk of fire.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect (oil filter housing cracking) that creates a fire risk through proximity to ignition sources. No injuries or deaths are reported in the source text, but the hazard is direct and the potential consequence (fire) is serious, meeting the High threshold for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain 2023–2024 Land Rover Defender, 2024 Land Rover Discovery, 2024 Land Rover Range Rover, 2024 Land Rover Range Rover Sport, and 2024 Land Rover Range Rover Velar vehicles. The oil filter housing in these vehicles can crack and leak oil into the engine compartment.

When oil leaks into the engine compartment in the presence of an ignition source—such as a hot engine or exhaust components—there is an increased risk of fire.

Dealers will replace the filter housing, oil filter, and o-rings at no charge to owners. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 27, 2024. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
