Concern

Fire may occur

Defect, as DVSA words it

For vehicles fitted with Dynamic Response System (DRS) it is possible that the positive battery cable could come in contact with the DRS fluid supply pipes. If this condition occurs the positive battery lead could chaff on the DRS pipe which will then lead to DRS pipes becoming positively charged. Should the charge find an earth then localised melting of components could occur due to heat generation. This could ultimately result in a vehicle fire.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall all affected vehicles to check and if necessary replace the positive battery cable then reroute the cable.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because the reference DVSA lists is too short to match safely. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.

Land Rover RANGE ROVER SPORT in the other registers

This site holds seven national and European registers. Land Rover RANGE ROVER SPORT is named on 37 American notices, 43 Canadian, 35 European and 7 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

The American register

The Canadian register

The European register

The Israeli register

Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Land Rover elsewhere in this register

Land Rover is named on 159 notices in the copy of the DVSA’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same concern: FIRE MAY OCCUR

95 notices in this register name FIRE MAY OCCUR. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
