Recall letters go to whoever owns the car on paper, which may not be you. Save your 2024 Land Rover Defender and we will email you the day Transport Canada issues a new recall for it.

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.
Note: This lookup is by make, model and year, so it lists every recall issued for that vehicle — not all of which will apply to your exact build. A dealer can confirm what is outstanding on your VIN in a minute.

Transport Canada lists: Defender 2020–2024 · Discovery 2020–2024 · Range Rover 2019–2024 · Evoque 2020–2024

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the DC/DC converter could fail. As a result, the 12 V battery would not charge and a red "Stop Safely Electrical Fault Detected" warning message would be displayed. If this happens, and you continue to drive the vehicle, there could be a loss of power to the wheels and/or the vehicle's lights could turn off. Note: This recall is an expansion of Transport Canada recall no. 2026-196. Vehicles repaired under that recall don't require this repair. This recall only affects certain mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEV).

Why it matters

A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Exterior lights that don't work may make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Land Rover will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the vehicle load balancing software.

Transport Canada recall 2025015 · manufacturer campaign N972

16 January 2025

Transport Canada lists: Defender 2023–2024 · Discovery 2023

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the touch screen to remain blank when the vehicle is started. As a result, the rearview camera image would not appear on the display. Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse gear. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a 10-inch touch screen.

Why it matters

A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Land Rover will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the touch screen software.

What is wrong
