The 2020 Land Rover Evoque has 6 recalls, the most serious involving airbag and interior safety concerns that could leave occupants less protected or at greater risk of injury in a crash.
The occupant safety recalls cover several interconnected issues. A metal plate attached to the headliner can detach when the side curtain airbags deploy, potentially striking a passenger in the cabin. Both the driver and front passenger knee airbag covers can work loose over time, allowing the airbag to begin unfolding before a crash occurs, which prevents the airbag from inflating correctly when it is actually needed. Prior repair attempts for the driver's knee airbag did not fully resolve the issue for all affected vehicles, which is why an updated remedy is now in place. There is also a software fault that can cause the airbag warning light to illuminate when nothing is actually wrong with the system, which creates a problem in the other direction: if the light is already on, a real airbag fault may go unnoticed until it is too late.
On the visibility side, the fuse controlling the front or rear windshield washer system can fail if the washers are used in freezing temperatures or when the nozzles are blocked. A blown fuse disables the washer entirely, leaving the driver unable to clear the windshield and reducing forward or rearward visibility in conditions where a clean view matters most.
