Jaguar Land Rover has issued a safety recall for a small batch of Range Rover Sport SUVs in the United States and its territories.
The action affects 873 vehicles from the 2024 through 2026 model years and centres on a potential defect in the rear subframe, one of the structural components that helps define how the SUV handles load and road forces.
For a vehicle positioned as a high-end performance luxury SUV, it’s the sort of hardware issue owners will want resolved promptly and cleanly.
At a glance
- JLR is recalling 873 Range Rover Sport SUVs in the US and its territories over a potential rear subframe defect.
- The concern involves cracks that may have formed during the forging process before vehicle assembly.
- Dealers will inspect affected vehicles and repair or replace the rear subframe where needed at no cost to owners.
The Range Rover Sport models affected
The recall applies to 2024, 2025 and 2026 Range Rover Sport models built at JLR’s Solihull plant between October 3, 2023 and May 22, 2026.
JLR has linked the issue to a forging defect in rear subframe components supplied by Linamar Casting and Gestamp Assembly.
The affected part is not a cosmetic trim piece or a minor bracket, but a structural component in the rear of the vehicle.
Why the defect can be difficult to catch
The concern is that cracks can form during the forging process before the subframes are fitted to vehicles.
Complicating matters, final machining can obscure those cracks, making the problem difficult to identify through routine visual inspection.
That detail matters because manufacturing defects of this kind aren’t always obvious once a component has passed through finishing and assembly stages.
What owners can expect from dealers
Dealers will inspect the rear subframes on affected Range Rover Sport SUVs and carry out repairs or replacement where required.
The work will be completed at no cost to owners.
JLR has not reported any accidents, injuries or fires in the US connected to this defect.
