What's wrong?
The Continental Surround Camera System on the 2018 Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport helps show the area around the vehicle when the driver selects reverse. Its rear camera feed is part of the back-over prevention system, giving the driver a rearview image on the in-vehicle display while backing up.
On affected vehicles, the system can fail to show that rearview image when the vehicle is about to reverse or is already reversing. The recall filing does not identify a separate owner-visible mechanical cause. The practical problem is straightforward: the camera display is not providing the view it is supposed to provide at the moment the driver needs it.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first thing an owner notices is the missing rearview image after shifting into reverse, so drivers still need to check mirrors and look around the vehicle before backing up.
Who's affected?
Range Rover and Range Rover Sport share the same listed camera system for this recall.

| 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Sport | Camera |
| Units affected | 14,277 |
A matching 2018 model name does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
When the rearview image does not display, the driver has less visibility behind the vehicle and the risk of a crash increases. Use mirrors and extra care while backing up, and schedule the software repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Land Rover dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018 Land Rover Range Rover or Range Rover Sport is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Land Rover dealer to schedule the free infotainment software reprogramming that restores proper rearview camera display.
- Bring the recall notice if Land Rover mailed one. If not, reference recall number 19V603 and Land Rover recall N367 when you call.
- Use extra care when backing up until the repair is complete. Check mirrors and surroundings before reversing.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Land Rover technician reprograms the infotainment system software that controls the rear camera display when the vehicle is in reverse. The software update and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid out of pocket for this camera or infotainment software repair before the recall notice, Land Rover's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring repair paperwork and proof of payment to the Land Rover service desk.
