Every Land Rover Discovery recall
Newest first. The concern is the part or system affected, the defect is what can go wrong, and the remedy is what the manufacturer does to put it right.
AJ20-D6 Idler Pulley Clash
R/2026/241, launched 26 June 2026. Also covers the Defender, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar
Defect: A concern has been identified on certain AJ20-D6 engines where the Front End Auxiliary Drive (FEAD) belt idler pulley may over-rotate following a high torsion input and lead to a clash with and damage to the oil pressure and temperature sensor. A damaged oil pressure and temperature sensor can lead to an oil leak from the engine which can result in a slip hazard for following road users particularly two-wheeled vehicles.
Remedy: Vehicles will have the Front-End Auxiliary Drive (FEAD) idler pulley replaced.
Driver’s Airbag Potential Non-Deployment
R/2026/245, launched 19 June 2026. Also covers the Defender, Range Rover
Defect: A concern has been identified where the connector to the driver’s airbag at the clockspring may experience fretting corrosion over time. This can lead to an increased resistance in the driver’s airbag circuit potentially resulting in the airbag failing to deploy when requested to do so. An airbag which fails to deploy as-intended will increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Remedy: Vehicles will have a protective lubricant gel applied to the driver’s airbag connector terminals.

Defect: A concern has been identified where the fuel tank wall thickness may be below design specification near the inlet check valve. A fuel tank with a thinner-than-designed wall may not perform adequately in the event of a crash leading to increased risk of fuel spillage and potentially fire.
Remedy: Affected vehicles will have the fuel tank replaced.
Discovery (L319) and Range Rover Sport (L320) Tow Ball Detachment
R/2024/326, launched 5 June 2025. Also covers the Range Rover Sport
Defect: The manufacturer has determined that in affected vehicles the instructions provided on the method of use of detachable tow balls does not adequately warn of a non-obvious risk which could lead to a failure of the tow ball mechanism causing in-use detachment of the tow ball and trailer detachment.
Remedy: Customers will be provided with an additional retaining bracket to fit to the vehicle when using the detachable tow ball together with full installation instructions.
Security Guidance

R/2024/255, launched 14 June 2024. Also covers the Defender, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar
Defect: On affected vehicles the incorrect specification of plastic was used to manufacture the oil filter housing. This housing may over time and with vehicle use crack. This could result in oil under pressure leaking and coming into contact with hot components of the engine which may result in a fire. Additionally oil may leak onto the road surface posing a skid hazard.
Remedy: Replace the oil filter housing complete with filter and associated O-rings.
Security Enhancement
R/2024/145, launched 15 March 2024. Also covers the Defender, Discovery Sport, Range Rover, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Velar

Defect: The fuel return hose may leak. Increased fuel odour may be noticed and drivers may also observe liquid fuel puddles underneath the vehicle. It is possible that fuel may leak onto the road surface which can present a skid hazard to other road users increasing the risk of a crash. Should leaking fuel come into contact with a sufficiently hot surface in the engine bay there will be an increased risk of fire.
Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel return hose.
ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT
R/2016/289, launched 31 January 2017, 4,964 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Range Rover Evoque
Defect: It has been identified that the engine wiring harness of the 2.0ltr engined vehicles fitted with automatic transmission may have been incorrectly routed which may allow the wiring harness to contact the water charge air cooler bracket. Engine vibration can cause a chaffing condition where the outer sheathing of the cable can wear through and expose the wires of the engine harness. Depending on the orientation of the wires within the harness then damage to wires can result in electrical arcing and a short circuit. This condition can also result in the illumination of a warning light on the instrument panel loss of the electronic steering system engine cut out without warning melting of the cable sheathing and surrounding parts. Also in extreme circumstances it can cause an under-bonnet fire.
Remedy: All affected vehicles will be recalled to inspect the clearance between the engine harness and water charge air cooler bracket. If the clearance is not to the correct specification the wiring harness will be repositioned and secured to ensure the specified clearance is achieved. If the engine harness shows signs of chafing the engine harness will be repaired re-positioned to ensure the correct specification.
FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
R/2016/307, launched 31 December 2016, 452 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Range Rover, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Sport
