Jaguar Land Rover North America is recalling 23,677 certain model-year 2019–2024 vehicles because the DC-to-DC converter can stop working during high electrical demand or fail at startup because of a software error.
A converter failure stops the 12-volt system from charging. NHTSA says that can lead to a complete loss of drive power and exterior lighting, increasing crash risk.
What the record says
The recall covers certain 2019–2024 Range Rover Sport vehicles; 2020–2024 Range Rover, Range Rover Evoque, Discovery Sport and Defender vehicles; and 2021–2024 Range Rover Velar, Discovery, Jaguar E-Pace and Jaguar F-Pace vehicles. Model and year alone do not confirm inclusion; the VIN controls.
The federal campaign number is 26V599, and Jaguar Land Rover identifies the action as campaign E008. The action expands earlier NHTSA campaign 26V248.
Dealers will install updated vehicle software at no charge. Interim letters describing the safety risk are expected to be mailed November 13, followed by another notice when the final remedy is available. Owners can contact Land Rover customer service at 800-637-6837.
NHTSA does not mark campaign 26V599 with a Do Not Drive or Park Outside instruction. That means the public recall record does not direct every affected owner to park the vehicle, but an electrical warning, loss of lighting or loss of power still deserves immediate attention.
What dealers and customers should know
What this means for owners: enter the full 17-character VIN through NHTSA or Jaguar Land Rover and look specifically for campaign 26V599 or E008. If it is open, ask the dealer when the software remedy can be completed and make sure your contact information is current for the follow-up notice.
If a 12-volt charging warning appears or the vehicle begins losing electrical functions, reduce speed smoothly and move out of traffic while control remains available. If drive power or exterior lighting is lost, stop in the safest available location and request roadside assistance rather than trying to continue the trip.
What this means for shoppers: check the exact VIN before buying or accepting delivery of an affected-year Jaguar or Land Rover. If campaign E008 is open, ask for written confirmation of the remedy status and do not treat an interim notice as proof that the final update was installed.
Why it matters
this recall matters even though the affected population is smaller than some recent campaigns because one electrical failure can remove both propulsion and visibility. VIN confirmation and a documented software update are more useful than waiting for a warning to appear.
