NHTSA received Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC’s report on May 12, 2026. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 19, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
A seat belt chime that fails to alert occupants that they are unbuckled can increase the risk of injury during a crash.
Jaguar Land Rover North America LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2026 Land Rover Range Rover Velar, Range Rover Sport, and Range Rover vehicles.
The seat belt warning system may not activate the audible warning chime as intended.
As such, these vehicles fail to conform with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, “Occupant Crash Protection.”
