Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with low line headlight assemblies. When towing a trailer with the trailer lights connected to the trailer socket and the vehicle's daytime running lights (drl) are on, the trailer lights may not function.

Why it matters: If the trailer lights are not working, following traffic won't be aware the vehicle is slowing down or stopping, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Land rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the body control module software, free of charge. The recall began April 13, 2020.
