What this recall means for you
The center touchscreen in these vehicles may go blank when the vehicle starts, so the rearview camera image does not display as intended. This means the vehicles do not meet federal rear visibility requirements.
Without a working camera image, the driver's view behind the vehicle is reduced, which increases the risk of a crash while backing up. Owners should be aware of this limitation when reversing.
Dealers will update the touchscreen software at no cost to the owner. Owner notification letters were mailed March 3, 2025. For questions, contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837 (recall N972), and check your VIN for any open recalls.
