Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2019-2024 Land Rover Range Rover Sport, 2020-2024 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Range Rover, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Land Rover Defender, 2021-2024 Land Rover Range Rover Velar, Jaguar E-Pace, F-Pace, and Land Rover Discovery vehicles.
The DC-DC converter may malfunction due to an electrical overload that can occur during high power demand.
Additionally, a software error can cause the DC-DC converter to stop functioning at vehicle start-up under certain circumstances.
Failure of the DC-DC converter will result in the loss of 12-Volt system charging and can lead to complete loss of drive power and exterior lighting.
