Rear-visibility system issue
BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2018-2022 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles equipped with a Surround Camera System. Water may enter into the rearview camera, which can cause the rearview camera image not to appear on the display or display a distorted image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Consequence
A rearview camera image that does not display while in reverse decreases the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
Full campaign recordRemedy
Dealers will inspect the rearview camera and add a new seal or replace the camera, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed to Range Rover owners March 4, 2024. Interim notification letters were mailed to Range Rover Sport owners March 7, 2024. Range Rover Sport owners will receive a second notice once remedy parts become available.

How this compares
At 18 MPG combined, the 2021 Land Rover Range Rover ranks 6th of 6 standard SUVs (4WD) EPA rated for 2021 — 2.5 MPG short of the 20.5 MPG median for that group.
That places it among the thirstiest vehicles in 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 $4,200, $400 more than the $3,800 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $21,000, a $2,000 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 491 grams per mile — about 7.4 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
Consumer complaints
