Land Rover Defender Recall 26V615: Rear Seat Belt Stitching May Fail in a Crash

NHTSA campaign 26V615, reported September 24, 2026, 371 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Some second-row seat belts may have been improperly stitched at the factory. The belt webbing may not hold together as designed, so the belt may fail to properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Dealers will inspect the second-row seat belt serial number and replace the seat belt, if needed, at no cost to you. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed November 20, 2026, and additional letters will follow once the final remedy is available. You can also contact Land Rover customer service at 800-637-6837 for more information, and check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
