What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: Risk-of-harm defect where a safety restraint may not deploy as intended, with no death or injury reported in the NHTSA record.

Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain 2020-2026 Land Rover Defender, 2021-2026 Discovery and 2022-2026 Range Rover vehicles under NHTSA campaign number 26V389000. The potential number of units affected is 250,857.

The driver's air bag clockspring connector may corrode, which can cause the air bag not to deploy as intended. NHTSA lists the affected component as frontal air bags. An air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.

Dealers will apply a protective lubricant gel to the driver's air bag connector terminals free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed on August 7, 2026, with additional letters to follow once the final remedy is available.

Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is D120.
