What's wrong?
The instrument cluster in these 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport and Range Rover vehicles is the dashboard display in front of the driver. It shows speed, tell-tales, and warning lights, giving the driver the information needed to monitor the vehicle while it is moving.
On affected vehicles, supply voltage to certain circuits inside the instrument cluster becomes unstable at higher operating temperatures. The cluster software records that voltage fault and resets the display. During that reset, the screen goes blank for at least seven seconds, removing the speed display, tell-tales, and warning lights until the cluster recovers.
There is no warning sign before failure. The instrument panel can go blank while the vehicle is being driven, then return after a short period, so treat any blank cluster as the recall issue.
Who's affected?
The scope covers Range Rover and Range Rover Sport SUVs with the same instrument-panel component listed for each model.

| Units affected | 21,998 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A blank instrument cluster hides important information, including vehicle speed, and increases the risk of a crash. If the display goes blank, pull over when it is safe, avoid unnecessary driving, and arrange service with a dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Land Rover dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Range Rover is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Land Rover dealer to schedule the free software update that fixes the intermittent blank instrument cluster.
- Bring the recall notice if Land Rover mailed one, and reference recall number 17V679 (Land Rover recall N124) when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the software update is complete. A blank instrument cluster can hide vehicle speed.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Land Rover technician updates the vehicle software to address the intermittent blank instrument cluster display. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered by Land Rover. Land Rover has a general reimbursement plan on file for owners who already paid for a related repair before the recall notice. Bring documentation for that prior repair to the service desk and ask how the plan applies to this campaign.
