2022 Land Rover Discovery

My vehicle is subject to NHTSA Recall 26V-248 / Jaguar Land Rover Recall D126 involving the electrical system and DC/DC converter. I have not experienced the recalled failure, warning message, loss of motive power, or loss of exterior lighting. I am filing because the recall remains unrepaired and the remedy is unavailable for my vehicle. The recall notice I received is dated June 10, 2026. NHTSA states that DC/DC converter failure can cause loss of 12-volt charging and ultimately loss of motive power and exterior lighting, increasing crash risk. I routinely rely on this vehicle to transport my children. On August 26, 2026, at an authorized Land Rover dealership, a service advisor discussed Recall D126, the safety concern, and confirmed the repair was unavailable. I brought the vehicle home, parked it, and stopped routinely using it. On October 5, 2026, I contacted the Land Rover Customer Relationship Center. A representative told me continued driving would be “at my own risk” and, after I explained my concerns about transporting my children, advised me not to drive. I was also told the repair might not be available until January 2027. JLR reported the recall to NHTSA on April 17, 2026. By October 5, 171 days had passed. If delayed until January 2027, the recall could remain unresolved for about 8–9 months. I have no other suitable vehicle for transporting my children. Because the Land Rover remains parked, I use a bicycle when possible for school and activities. I was also told JLR Customer Relationship Center does not provide or handle loaner or rental assistance for this recall. No related warning lamps or messages have appeared because the failure has not occurred. The vehicle remains parked and available for inspection. I ask NHTSA to review the remedy delay and JLR’s management of Recall 26V-248, including whether owners are receiving an effective remedy and appropriate interim safety guidance.

I was driving home from work late at night in December 2025. A Signal came on that said pull to safety or something like that and then I lost power steering and brake control and my entire dash in my vehicle went pitch black. I was in the middle lane on route 290 and I was very lucky not to hit any other vehicles, but it was incredibly scary because I had no control of my vehicle and there were many cars and trucks on the road around me. I coasted off slowly to the side and I had to sit in 15° temperatures for an hour while I waited for AAA to come and tow my vehicle. They towed it to my home and were not able to get it off the ramp so they had to tow it to the dealership because the battery had died. The vehicle for a couple weeks before was slow to start, which I did not realize at the time was a sign that the battery was being drained. It was brought to the dealer and discovered that the DC DC converter and the BECM was the issue. My vehicle is open for inspection if you need it. The converter and BECM have been replaced after fighting with the dealer and with Landrover. Landrover is aware of the situation because they had to work with the dealer on their systems.Unfortunately, I am out almost $1000 because they made me pay for the replacement of the battery ( and the towing ) . Honestly I am having PTSD every time I drive past the area where I almost crashed. Landrover did not even want to accept responsibility, but the dealer did as we have purchased two vehicles from them that we also maintain meticulously.

The failing component is the same as Land Rover Discovery 2017-2020 recall /N221 service action. Complaint is to extend this service action/ recall to later production models of Land Rover Discovery in the years 2021 and 2022. The same issues are occurring as reported with Land Rover discovery 2017-2020. Due to a faulty sealant mechanism, the windshield is leaking water on the inside of vehicle causing visual impairment whilst driving in rain, snow and wet conditions - an unsafe way to drive. The water is also known to leak into electrical components causing cameras to not work, causing steering issues and causing electrical safety warning systems not to function. Land Rover Discovery (specifically 2017–2020 models) has faced issues with water leaking from the windshield, causing potential electrical damage and cabin moisture, as detailed in a Service Action (N221) and a 2020 class-action lawsuit. While often handled as a technical service bulletin (TSB) rather than a safety recall, dealers are instructed to inspect and, if necessary, replace the windshield.Key Details Regarding the Windshield Issues:Affected Vehicles: Primarily 2017-2018 Discovery 5, though reports have continued for 2020 models.Problem: Improper sealing leads to water leaks, causing moisture in the cabin and potential damage to electrical components.Service Action/Recall: Service Action N221 outlines instructions for dealers to test for leaks and replace the windshield if necessary, under certain circumstances.Action Needed: Owners experiencing this issue should contact their local Land Rover dealership for a check, as it may be covered by the manufacturer's warranty or a goodwill repair. However, service dealers who I have called are requiring me to pay $250 for a diagnostic of their own issue. As well as keep the car for several days just to evaluate.
