Owners of certain Land Rover Range Rover vehicles should pay attention to a drainage problem that may leave the rearview camera image unavailable, reducing visibility behind the vehicle and increasing crash risk.

## What the official recall record says

### LAND ROVER: RANGE ROVER

Insufficient drain holes may prevent water from draining away from the rearview camera, potentially damaging it. If the camera image does not display, the driver's view behind the vehicle can be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash. The specified repair adds drainage openings beneath the tailgate trim and includes inspecting the camera and replacing it if necessary, at no charge. The record describes further owner notification when the final remedy becomes available, rather than confirming that it is available now.

**Owner information from the official record**
