93,997 Range Rovers Recalled: Water Leak Can Fry Backup Camera

Jaguar Land Rover is recalling 93,997 Range Rover SUVs because water can seep into the tailgate and damage the rearview camera. The drainage system in the tailgate isn’t doing a good enough job of extracting water, potentially causing the rearview camera to fail. This means drivers may lose the backup camera display when reversing, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall affects certain Range Rover models, and owners should watch for official notices from the automaker. Dealers will fix the issue free of charge, but the exact remedy wasn't detailed in the source. Backup cameras are required safety equipment on new vehicles in the U.S., so a failure is a significant compliance and safety concern. If you own one of these luxury SUVs, check your VIN on the NHTSA website or contact your dealer to see if your vehicle is included. This recall highlights how even high-end vehicles can have basic design flaws that put drivers at risk.
