The windshield has failed which allows water to enter the vehicle. It puts me at risk because if I were to drive it in the rain or take it through a carwash it would destroy the electrical systems in the car and leave me unable to view the speedometer, vehicle information. It could also cause the computer in the middle to quit working. I have had the car to the dealership twice already and now it is leaking again- the first time they replaced the windshield because it had been recalled. 15 months later the new...

windshield began to leak and the dealership resealed the windshield and now 18 months later it is leaking again. The dealership said LR will not do anything and quoted me a "discounted" price of $3,219 for a new windshield or said they could attempt to reseal it again for $1,094 and that if it broke they would have to replace it. The vehicle has around 67,500 miles on it and has never been wrecked. This is a known problem and they are not going to repair the issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Land Rover Discovery. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for routine maintenance. During an inspection, the technicians discovered that the fuel tank cover protectors were rusted. The contact was concerned that the driveshaft could strike the exposed fuel tank, causing a fuel leak. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The dealer confirmed the failure; however, the vehicle was not repaired due to warranty issues. The failure mileage was 80,000.

battery. 2 and 4 months prior (5/26 and 7/26), random electrical issues with radio, screen blanking out , volume unable to be changed, as well as various cameras and alerts for "collisions" would come on. Dealer looked over car and could not find anything wrong at that time.
Vehicle suffered a catastrophic failure of the manufacturer-directed safety campaign remedy for Service Action N694 (Windshield Water Leaks). The Vehicle was brought in for service immediately after receiving the N694 Service Action Notification in September 2023. The inspection found no leaks and no action was taken. Two months later, in November 2023, the windshield began leaking water during rainstorms and was immediately brought into the dealership for service. The windshield was repaired, but not replaced...

which was also a remedy under the Service Action. The windshield again experienced severe leaking in September 2026 during an overnight rainstorm and significant damage to the vehicle has occurred. The dealership's temporary 'topical reseal' remedy completely failed, causing severe water intrusion that corroded the main dashboard infotainment screen module and flooded the vehicle's electrical channels. This hidden factory defect has compromised critical dashboard safety displays, created a toxic mold health hazard inside the cabin, and left standing water under the floorboards.
My vehicle is subject to NHTSA Recall 26V-248 / Jaguar Land Rover Recall D126 involving the electrical system and DC/DC converter. I have not experienced the recalled failure, warning message, loss of motive power, or loss of exterior lighting. I am filing because the recall remains unrepaired and the remedy is unavailable for my vehicle. The recall notice I received is dated June 10, 2026. NHTSA states that DC/DC converter failure can cause loss of 12-volt charging and ultimately loss of motive power and exterior...

lighting, increasing crash risk. I routinely rely on this vehicle to transport my children. On August 26, 2026, at an authorized Land Rover dealership, a service advisor discussed Recall D126, the safety concern, and confirmed the repair was unavailable. I brought the vehicle home, parked it, and stopped routinely using it. On October 5, 2026, I contacted the Land Rover Customer Relationship Center. A representative told me continued driving would be "at my own risk" and, after I explained my concerns about transporting my children, advised me not to drive. I was also told the repair might not be available until January 2027. JLR reported the recall to NHTSA on April 17, 2026. By October 5, 171 days had passed. If delayed until January 2027, the recall could remain unresolved for about 8-9 months. I have no other suitable vehicle for transporting my children. Because the Land Rover remains parked, I use a bicycle when possible for school and activities. I was also told JLR Customer Relationship Center does not provide or handle loaner or rental assistance for this recall. No related warning lamps or messages have appeared because the failure has not occurred. The vehicle remains parked and available for inspection. I ask NHTSA to review the remedy delay and JLR's management of Recall 26V-248, including whether owners are receiving an effective remedy and appropriate interim safety guidance.
