ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Land Rover Discovery vehicles. A loose contact between the battery ground stud and the chassis may result in various electrical faults, possibly causing a loss of electrical power or the vehicle to shut down while driv

While driving my 2021 Land Rover Discovery (MHEV) in active traffic, the vehicle suddenly displayed an “Electrical system fault – Stop safely” warning. Immediately after the warning, the vehicle lost power and shut down, leaving me stalled in traffic with no ability to safely move the vehicle out of the roadway. There was no prior warning, no gradual degradation, and no driver-caused condition. The shutdown appeared to be related to the 48-volt mild-hybrid electrical system, possibly involving the DC-DC converter or battery management system, which disabled critical vehicle functions. This failure created an immediate safety hazard. I was at risk of being rear-ended and had limited ability to safely exit traffic. The vehicle became effectively inoperable without warning, which is unacceptable in real-world driving conditions. What is especially concerning is that: •The warning instructed me to “stop safely,” yet the vehicle did not allow time or power to do so •There w

MHEV vehicle is offline; car completely shut down, resulting in loss of power on the road.

I own a 2021 Land Rover Discovery with VIN [XXX] , and I am experiencing issues that align with the national recall for the MHEV battery. My vehicle’s start-stop functionality fails intermittently, and the system is in an “offline state,” disrupting communication and critical functions. Additionally, due to these MHEV battery errors, my vehicle cannot receive over-the-air updates provided by Land Rover, further impacting its performance and reliability. I request that my vehicle be reviewed for inclusion in the recall and that the necessary repairs be covered. This ongoing issue presents a significant inconvenience and safety concern.
