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

Plain-English summary
Jaguar Land Rover North America LLC is recalling certain 2026 Land Rover Range Rover Velar, Range Rover Sport, and Range Rover vehicles. The seat belt warning system may not activate the audible warning chime as intended. These vehicles fail to conform with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
A seat belt chime that fails to alert occupants that they are unbuckled can increase the risk of injury during a crash. Dealers will replace the audio amplifier free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed July 10, 2026, with additional letters to follow once the remedy becomes available.
Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 800-637-6837 for more information. Land Rover's internal recall number for this campaign is D105.
