Safety Recall Alert for Certain Range Rover Models
What’s the Issue?
Problem with Panoramic Roof Side Panels
The National Consumer Commission (NCC) found that some 2022‑2026 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles may have a manufacturing defect. During a factory rework, the adhesive used to attach the side panels of the panoramic roof might not have been applied correctly. Over time, this weak bond could cause the cladding to loosen or even peel off.
Why It Matters
If the side panel becomes loose, it can distract the driver or other road users. In the worst case, the panel could detach completely and strike pedestrians, cyclists, or motorcyclists, raising the risk of injury or a crash.
Which Vehicles Are Affected?
Model Years and Production Dates
The recall covers five vehicles built between December 2021 and December 2025. These are specific Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models that underwent the panoramic‑roof rework during that period.
What Should Owners Do?
Steps to Get It Fixed
- Check your VIN – Look up your vehicle identification number to see if it falls within the recall range.
- Contact a Jaguar Land Rover dealer – Call or visit the nearest authorized service center.
- Schedule an inspection – Technicians will examine the roof side panels and, if needed, re‑bond or replace them at no cost.
- Keep the service receipt – This proves the repair was completed and helps maintain your vehicle’s resale value.
