SAFETY RECALL N598: Tail Lamp Inoperative
Vehicle Affected: Land Rover Defender
Model Year: 2020-2022
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Recall Number: 21V-435
Dear Land Rover Defender Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Land Rover has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2020-2022 model year Land Rover Defender vehicles.
Your vehicle is included in this Recall action.
What is the reason for this program?
Should an intense light source shine directly on the rear of your vehicle at a certain angle, the brake lamps, turn signal indicators, and/or the tail lamps may stop working. In the case of turn signal indicators and brake lamps, the condition resets without driver intervention and operation will resume absent of the intense light source. In the case of the tail lamp operation, the lamps remain off until either the ignition is switched off and on or the lamps are switched off and then on via the lighting control switch.
Where the tail lamp system fails to illuminate, other road users will not be aware the vehicle may be slowing down, stopping, or changing direction. During darkness and where the tail lamps are not illuminated, following drivers may not realize the presence of a vehicle ahead.
Each of these conditions will increase the risk of a crash.
What will Land Rover and your authorized Land Rover retailer do?
Land Rover is carrying out a recall of these vehicles to replace the tail lamp assemblies to the correct specification. However, we currently do not have the adequate supply of the necessary components.
There will be no charge for this repair under this program.
What should you do?
Please contact your preferred authorized Land Rover retailer and provide them with your Vehicle Identification Number (VlN) and request a service date to complete the work required under Program Code ‘N598‘.
DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE
An issue has been identified on certain Land Rover vehicles with darkened rear lamp assemblies within the listed Affected Vehicle Range where, if an intense light source shines directly on the rear of an affected vehicle at a certain angle, the stop, turn signal, and/or tail lamp may experience a photovoltaic over-voltage event and cease to function. In the case of turn signals and stop lamps, the condition resets without driver intervention and operation will resume absent of the intense light source. In the case of tail lamp operation, the lamps will extinguish until the power feed is cycled, such as an ignition off/on or turning the lamps off and then on at the lighting control switch.
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE
A total of 2,622 vehicles are potentially involved in the USA and Federalized Territories.
Defender
Model Year: ………….. 2020-2022
VIN: ………………………… SALEX7EU0L2016027-SALEX7RU1N2072300
Visit the British Brands Sales Suite (BBSS) website for a list of affected vehicles at your retailer.
EFFECT ON VEHICLE OPERATION
Where the rear lamp system fails to illuminate, other road users will not be aware of the vehicle may be slowing down, stopping, or changing direction. During darkness, where the tail lamps have extinguished, following drivers may not realize the presence of a vehicle ahead.
Each of these failed state conditions will increase the risk of a crash.
SERVICE PROGRAM / REWORK ACTION
Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to an authorized retailer who will replace the rear lamp assemblies. There will be no charge to owners for this action under this Program.
Unsold vehicles must have this done as part of the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) process and before vehicle handover to the customer.
OWNER NOTIFICATION
Owner notification is expected to occur on or before August 3, 2021.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
Use the Jaguar Land Rover claims submission system to make sure that the vehicle is affected by this Program prior to undertaking any rework action.
Retailers are required to HOLD affected new vehicles that are within your control and refrain from releasing the vehicles for new vehicle sale pending completion of the rework action.
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC recommends that affected sales demonstrator and loaner vehicles are repaired before use and that used vehicles are repaired before sale. Retailers who choose to proceed against this recommendation, where legally permitted, must clearly and conspicuously disclose the open recall to the applicable customers.
A Technical Bulletin will be published once repair instructions are finalized and any required parts have been procured.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Jaguar Land Rover North America apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.

NOTIFICATION OF SAFETY RECALL N598 (NHTSA
21V-435)
NAS21.06.011 RECALL USA AFTERSALES BULLETIN
JUNE 10, 2021
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC
100 Jaguar Land Rover Way
Mahwah, NJ 07495
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC has informed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) of its intent to perform a Recall on certain 2020-2022 model year Land Rover Defender vehicles
imported into the United States market. Information relating to this Recall will be posted on the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration website.
United States Federal regulations require that retailers must be notified within a reasonable time after the
manufacturer decides that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety or a noncompliance exists.
United States Federal law requires retailers to complete any outstanding Recall service before a new vehicle is
delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a retailer could result in a civil penalty of up
to $22,723.00 per vehicle.
This Aftersales Bulletin serves as notification to all Land Rover retailers in the United States and Federalized
Territories that any affected new vehicles may not be sold and delivered for customer use until the Recall
repair is completed.
DESCRIPTION OF ISSUE
An issue has been identified on certain Land Rover vehicles with darkened rear lamp assemblies within the listed
Affected Vehicle Range where, if an intense light source shines directly on the rear of an affected vehicle at a
certain angle, the stop, turn signal, and/or tail lamp may experience a photovoltaic over-voltage event and cease
to function. In the case of turn signals and stop lamps, the condition resets without driver intervention and
operation will resume absent of the intense light source. In the case of tail lamp operation, the lamps will extinguish
until the power feed is cycled, such as an ignition off/on or turning the lamps off and then on at the lighting control
switch.
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE
A total of 2,622 vehicles are potentially involved in the USA and Federalized Territories.
Defender
Model Year: ………….. 2020-2022
VIN: ………………………… SALEX7EU0L2016027-SALEX7RU1N2072300
Visit the British Brands Sales Suite (BBSS) website for a list of affected vehicles at your retailer.
EFFECT ON VEHICLE OPERATION
Where the rear lamp system fails to illuminate, other road users will not be aware of the vehicle may be slowing
down, stopping, or changing direction. During darkness, where the tail lamps have extinguished, following drivers
may not realize the presence of a vehicle ahead.
Each of these failed state conditions will increase the risk of a crash.
SERVICE PROGRAM / REWORK ACTION
Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to an authorized retailer who will replace the
rear lamp assemblies. There will be no charge to owners for this action under this Program.
Unsold vehicles must have this done as part of the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) process and before vehicle
handover to the customer.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN
Use the Jaguar Land Rover claims submission system to make sure that the vehicle is affected by this Program
prior to undertaking any rework action.
Retailers are required to HOLD affected new vehicles that are within your control and refrain from releasing the
vehicles for new vehicle sale pending completion of the rework action.
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC recommends that affected sales demonstrator and loaner vehicles are
repaired before use and that used vehicles are repaired before sale. Retailers who choose to proceed against this
recommendation, where legally permitted, must clearly and conspicuously disclose the open recall to the
applicable customers.
A Technical Bulletin will be published once repair instructions are finalized and any required parts have been
procured.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Jaguar Land Rover North America apologizes for any inconvenience
this may cause.
