2021 Land Rover Discovery recalls

Rearview Camera May Fail to Display, Reducing Visibility
Water may not drain away from the rearview camera because there are not enough drain holes.
Driver Air Bag May Not Deploy Properly in a Crash
A corroded connector in the driver's air bag clockspring can keep the front air bag from deploying as designed.
Loss of Drive Power and Lighting Risk
Certain mild-hybrid vehicles can experience a fault in the DC-DC converter when electrical demand is high.
Seat Belt Retractors May Fail to Secure Child Seats
The automatic locking retractors in some seat belts may deactivate early, so a child restraint system may not stay properly secured in the vehicle.
Loose Battery Ground Can Cause Sudden Power Loss
A loose connection between the battery ground stud and the chassis can cause various electrical faults, which may lead to a loss of electrical power or the vehicle shutting down while driving.
