Land Rover is recalling 15,535 Discovery SUVs from model years 2021–2025 because insufficient drainage around the rearview camera may allow water damage. A camera image that fails to display reduces rear visibility and increases crash risk. Campaign 26V458000 applies to certain vehicles within those model years.

## What the recall means for owners

### LAND ROVER: DISCOVERY

The free repair adds drain holes to the underside of the tailgate trim, followed by inspection and replacement of the rearview camera if necessary. NHTSA’s current record says owner notification letters were mailed September 10, 2026. That updates the previously listed September 11 interim-mailing plan.

**Official record — checked September 16, 2026**

- **NHTSA recall ID:** 26V458000
- **Vehicles listed:** LAND ROVER DISCOVERY (2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021)
- **Potentially affected:** 15,535
- **Components:** BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
- **Report received:** July 16, 2026
- **Owner notification:** Owner notification letters mailed September 10, 2026.
- **Defect:** Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2021-2025 Land Rover Discovery 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.
- **Safety consequence:** A rearview camera image that does not display can decrease the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
- **Remedy:** Dealers will drill additional drain holes in the underside of the tailgate trim. Additionally, dealers will inspect and replace the rearview camera as necessary. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 10, 2026. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is D145.

## What owners should do next

Contact a Land Rover dealer about campaign D145 and the drainage repair and camera inspection. A camera that currently displays an image does not establish that a vehicle is outside the recall; confirm eligibility by VIN.

Discovery owners should also review the [separate Jaguar and Land Rover electrical-system recall](/articles/safety-recall-26v599000/) and check each campaign independently by VIN.

Use the [official NHTSA recall lookup](https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls) or contact the manufacturer or an authorized dealer to confirm recall status for your vehicle’s VIN. A matching model and year alone do not establish that a vehicle is included or that its repair is complete.
