Lighting issue
EXTERIOR LIGHTING:LIGHTING CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC. (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Discovery, and Range Rover Velar vehicles. The Auto High Beam (AHB) system does not indicate through the instrument cluster when the high beams are illuminated automatically.

Consequence
The driver may be unaware that the high beams are illuminated, reducing visibility for oncoming traffic, and increasing the risk of a crash.

How this compares
At 23 MPG combined, the 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Velar ranks 3rd of 5 small SUVs (4WD) EPA rated for 2019 — exactly the 23 MPG median for that group.
That places it a little below the middle of its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $3,300, within $0 of the $3,300 typical for the class — roughly $16,500 over five years.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 384 grams per mile — about 5.8 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
