Jaguar Land Rover recalls 2026 Range Rover Sport over weight label error

Jaguar Land Rover recalls certain 2026 Range Rover Sport crossovers due to incorrect vehicle weight info on labels, posing safety risks. Free fixes by March 2026.

Jaguar Land Rover North America has announced a recall for certain 2026 Range Rover Sport crossovers. The issue stems from incorrect vehicle weight information displayed on the factory certification label.

The Problem

The recall affects Range Rover Sport models with six-cylinder engines, manufactured at the Solihull plant between November 4 and 5, 2025. The label on the driver's side center pillar lists the vehicle weight with an error margin of up to 91 kilograms. If the vehicle is loaded beyond its actual capacity, this discrepancy could increase the risk of accidents.

The Recall Process

Jaguar Land Rover launched an internal investigation following a report from the UK factory in November 2025. Some vehicles were identified before shipment, but others had already reached customers. Dealers will replace the certification labels free of charge. Customer notifications are scheduled to be sent by March 6, 2026, with a VIN list to be published at the same time.

Model and Lineup Context

The 2026 Range Rover Sport in the US comes with several powertrain options. The six-cylinder versions produce 355 and 395 horsepower, the P550e hybrid delivers around 543 horsepower, and the top-tier SV models with BMW's S68 V8 engine reach 626 horsepower. The SV variant remains the most powerful production Range Rover ever, but it's also the most expensive, with a price tag exceeding $150,000.
