If you remember, Land Rover issued a stop-sale of several key models due to its airbags. Now, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has officially issued a recall involving said airbags that may fail to deploy in an event of a collision.It's of utmost importance to get it checked, as the NHTSA estimates that 100% of vehicles have this defect. The agency has notified dealers as of this writing, and those affected by the recall can expect a notification on or before August 7, 2026.Land RoverThe RecallPer NHTSA, this all began with an increase in warranty claims related to the airbag light tripping up. Land Rover opened up a Product Safety and Compliance Committee (PSCC) investigation on August 29, 2025. During the investigation, it was found that corrosion can be introduced into the airbag system's clockspring connectors.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe corrosion was found to be the root cause of the warning light activating. NHTSA says the airbag light will stay lit for at least 300 to 400 miles 'prior to potential non-deployment.' The electrical signals that trigger airbag deployment are blocked, increasing the risk of injury to the vehicle's occupants.Land RoverAffected Vehicles and the Fix250,857 vehicles are affected by the corroding connectors. To kick things off, all Range Rovers built between July 8, 2021, and June 3, 2026, built in Solihull, are included, as well as Discoverys assembled at the Nitra Vehicle Assembly Plant from September 14, 2020, toJune 4, 2026.The third model affected is the Defender, and it spans all models made between October 16, 2019, and May 28, 2026. The Defender is built in the same assembly line as the Discovery. Given that NHTSA wasn't specific with trims or body style, it's assumed that all versions of the models mentioned here have the defect. Do note that it's the midsize Discovery and not the smaller Discovery Sport. NHTSA also doesn't include the Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar, and Range Rover Evoque.So, what's the fix? Well, no parts will be replaced, so downtime probably won't take too long. The remedy is to apply a protective lubricant gel to the connector to prevent corrosion. This repair will, of course, be free of charge.Land RoverThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Jun 26, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
