As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Control and Displays."

What this recall means for you
The instrument cluster software can randomly switch the speedometer and odometer between miles per hour and kilometers per hour without any action by the driver. This does not meet a federal display standard for vehicle controls and displays.
The sudden change in units can confuse or distract the driver and may lead to driving at an unintended speed, which can increase the risk of a crash.
The repair is free. Dealers will update the vehicle software, and Land Rover will notify owners. You can also check your VIN for open recalls and contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837, referencing recall N516.
