Recall 14V163 affects 5,238 2014 Land Rover Range Rover vehicles for missing turn signal failure warnings. Repair is free at any franchised Land Rover dealer.
Land Rover is recalling 5,238 2014 Range Rover vehicles because a front turn signal malfunction does not always trigger the faster dashboard flash or click that warns the driver. Without that warning, the driver can keep turning without other road users seeing the signal, increasing crash risk; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The turn signal system on a 2014 Land Rover Range Rover uses exterior lamps at the corners of the vehicle and a dashboard indicator to show the driver that a signal is operating. When the front turn signal stops working, the indicator is supposed to alert the driver by flashing faster and clicking faster than normal.
On recalled Range Rover vehicles, that warning behavior does not happen for a front turn signal malfunction. The front signal itself can fail, but the driver does not get the expected double-rate flash or double-rate click from the indicator. The issue is tied to the electrical system software that controls how the indicator reports a lamp fault.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is that the normal warning sign is missing, so a driver can use the turn signal without realizing the front lamp is not working.
Who's affected?
Two component labels are listed for the same vehicle group: electrical system software and turn signal.

|---|---|
| 2014 Land Rover Range Rover | Turn signal |
| Units affected | 5,238 |
A matching 2014 Land Rover Range Rover does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A failed front turn signal can leave other drivers unaware that the 2014 Range Rover is turning, increasing crash risk. The driver does not get a malfunction warning, so use extra care with turns and lane changes until the software update is done. Repair will be free at any franchised Land Rover dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Land Rover Range Rover is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Land Rover dealer to confirm whether the free software update is open for your VIN.
- Schedule the software update that fixes the missing double-rate warning for a front turn signal malfunction.
- Bring the recall notice if Land Rover mailed one. If not, reference recall number 14V163 and Land Rover recall P042 when you call.
- Use extra care when signaling until the repair is complete, since other drivers are not warned if a front turn signal is out.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Land Rover technician will update the vehicle software tied to the front turn signal malfunction warning. The update is meant to restore the driver notification when a front turn signal has failed. Land Rover said owner notices were expected to begin on or before May 27, 2014. Once the repair is available for your VIN, the dealer software update is free under recall P042.
