2024 LAND ROVER DEFENDER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2024 Land Rover Defender has 3 recalls, the most serious being two issues that can lead to a loss of drive power or an engine compartment fire: a mild-hybrid electrical fault and a cracking oil filter housing that leaks oil onto hot engine components. The mild-hybrid system's DC/DC converter can fail and cut drive power without warning, raising the risk of a crash. Separately, the oil filter housing can crack and allow oil to drip onto hot engine or exhaust surfaces, where it can ignite. There is also a camera system concern: a surround-view sensing module can overheat and cause the 3D camera displays, including the rearview image, to go blank, reducing visibility when parking or maneuvering at low speed.
