Electrical issue
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:ADAS
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar vehicles.

Consequence
Missing audio safety features, such as seat belt reminders, turn signal sounds, and Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) warnings, can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

How this compares
At 23 MPG combined, the 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar ranks 2nd of 5 small SUVs (4WD) EPA rated for 2022 — 1 MPG better than the 22 MPG median for that group.
That places it a little above the middle of its class. Fuel cost is close enough to its rivals that other running costs will probably matter more.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $3,300, $150 less than the $3,450 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $16,500, a $750 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 393 grams per mile — about 5.9 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
