Range Rover rearview camera recall (NHTSA 26V678)

Yes — if your VIN is on NHTSA campaign 26V678000. Jaguar Land Rover is recalling certain 2022–2026 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles (about 93,997 in the U.S.). Insufficient tailgate water drainage can let water pool around the rearview / backup camera, causing a distorted or blank image and raising crash risk.

Model year alone is not enough — check your VIN.

Check your VIN first

Two Range Rovers from the same model year can differ. A model year alone does not prove your SUV is included — owners must check the VIN.

VIN searchable date: Jaguar Land Rover’s Part 573 filing left the “Date when VIN will be searchable” field blank. Do not invent a date — use the VIN tools and your dealer now. Interim owner letters are expected December 11, 2026; you do not need to wait for the letter.

Which vehicles are involved?

Per NHTSA and the Part 573 report: certain 2022–2026 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles built at the Solihull Vehicle Assembly Plant — approximately 93,997 potentially involved in the U.S. and Federalized Territories. Production dates in the filing: July 8, 2021 – June 4, 2026. Not every vehicle in that range was sold in the U.S., and not every Range Rover from those years is included. This campaign’s stated population is Range Rover (full-size) only — do not assume Range Rover Sport, Evoque, Defender, or Discovery are covered by 26V678000.

What is the defect?

NHTSA summary: “Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2022-2026 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles. Water may not be able to drain away from the rearview camera due to insufficient drain holes, which may result in damage to the rearview camera.”

Consequence: “A rearview camera image that does not display can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.”

In plain terms from the Part 573 report: the water management system on the tailgate may not drain water away from the rearview camera. Water can pool around the camera installation and, over time, damage the camera so the touchscreen shows a distorted image or no image at all — reducing rearward view and increasing crash risk.

Is the repair free? Drain holes and camera
