Land Rover recall lookup by VIN
Want to know whether a Land Rover has a safety recall? Here is how to check, and what our VIN tool does and doesn't tell you.
Step 1: Find the VIN on the Land Rover
The 17-character VIN is on the driver's-side dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver's door-jamb sticker, and on your registration, insurance card and title. VINs never contain the letters I, O or Q.
Step 2: Check open Land Rover recalls for that exact VIN (free)
Enter the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. NHTSA's lookup shows open recalls that the manufacturer has reported for that VIN. Safety recall repairs are generally done free of charge by an authorized dealer. Land Rover owner websites also offer a VIN recall check.
Step 3: Decode the Land Rover VIN and see model-level data
Our tool decodes the VIN and, for Land Rover vehicles, shows year, make and model for free. The report adds NHTSA recall campaigns, owner complaints and NCAP ratings for that Land Rover model and year, plus EPA fuel economy.
On this site you can decode a VIN for free to see the year, make and model. A full report costs a small one-time fee and adds factory specifications, NHTSA safety recalls, owner complaints, crash-test ratings and EPA fuel economy for that model and year. If we can't find your car's details, there's no charge. The report is compiled from free public U.S. government sources – the same sources you can use yourself for free – and it is not an accident, title or ownership history report.
Important: the recalls in our report are listed for the vehicle's make, model and year, so not every campaign applies to every car. The most reliable free way to see whether a specific VIN has an open (unrepaired) recall is NHTSA's own VIN lookup at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Reading a Land Rover VIN
The first three characters of a VIN are the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI). They identify the manufacturer and region, not the model.
NHTSA's public VIN-decoder database lists these WMI prefixes for Land Rover (as of 2026-11-01); the list may not be complete:
- SAJ – Jaguar Land Rover Limited, United Kingdom (UK)
- SAL – Jaguar Land Rover Limited, United Kingdom (UK)
- SAD – Jaguar Land Rover Limited, United Kingdom (UK)
The first three characters identify the manufacturer, characters 4–8 describe the model, engine and body, character 9 is a check digit, character 10 is the model-year code, character 11 is the assembly plant and the last six are the serial number.
Land Rover recall campaigns on file and models we can cover
Snapshot of NHTSA recall campaigns on file for model-year 2022 Land Rover vehicles (pulled 2026-11-01). Only models with at least one campaign are listed. A campaign often covers several model years or trims and does not apply to every vehicle, so confirm your own VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
- Range Rover: 10 campaigns on file; most recent reported 2026-10-15 (campaign 26V678000, Back Over Prevention: Sensing System: Camera)
- Range Rover Sport: 7 campaigns on file; most recent reported 2026-09-17 (campaign 26V599000, Electrical System:Propulsion System:Dc/Dc Converter)
- Defender: 7 campaigns on file; most recent reported 2026-09-17 (campaign 26V599000, Electrical System:Propulsion System:Dc/Dc Converter)
- Discovery: 6 campaigns on file; most recent reported 2026-09-17 (campaign 26V599000, Electrical System:Propulsion System:Dc/Dc Converter)
- Range Rover Velar: 4 campaigns on file; most recent reported 2026-09-17 (campaign 26V599000, Electrical System:Propulsion System:Dc/Dc Converter)
Coverage in our report depends on what the public NHTSA and EPA databases contain for each model and year; some older or less common vehicles have little or no data.
