The recall affects certain 2022 to 2026 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles, according to the auto safety regulator. NHTSA said insufficient drain holes may trap water in the rearview camera and damage it.
What dealers will do
Dealers will drill additional drain holes in the underside of the tailgate trim and replace the camera if needed, NHTSA said, as reported by Reuters. A blank or failed rearview image reduces what a driver can see behind the vehicle when reversing.
93,997 vehicles; certain 2022–2026 Land Rover Range Rover models; water can be trapped by insufficient drain holes and damage the rearview camera; dealers will drill extra holes and replace the camera if needed.
Owners of the listed models should watch for the recall notice for their vehicle and can check their vehicle identification number through NHTSA's recall lookup. The recall covers only the vehicles identified by the regulator, not every Range Rover on the road.
