What's wrong?
The rear spoiler on the 2010-2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport sits at the back edge of the roof. It helps manage airflow over the rear of the SUV and also forms part of the body trim. The recalled part is the upper cover, the outer piece attached to the main spoiler body.
On affected SUVs, the spoiler assembly was not consistent from vehicle to vehicle. The adhesive bond that holds the upper cover to the main spoiler body can break down over time. When that bond loses strength, the cover delaminates, meaning it separates from the spoiler instead of staying fixed to it. If it separates far enough while the SUV is moving, the cover can detach from the vehicle and create a hazard for other road users or pedestrians.
There is no warning sign before failure. Check for a loose, lifted, or separated spoiler cover, but absence of visible damage does not confirm the vehicle is clear.
Who's affected?
The same rear spoiler part, LR019172, appears across both model years.

What's the safety risk?
A detached rear spoiler can fall into traffic and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. If the spoiler looks loose, damaged, or missing, avoid highway driving and call a Land Rover dealer for inspection. Repair is free at any franchised Land Rover dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010-2011 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Land Rover dealer to schedule the free rear-spoiler inspection and repair that secures the upper spoiler cover.
- Bring the owner letter if you have it, or reference recall number 20V623 when you call.
- Avoid driving with a loose, damaged, or missing rear spoiler cover until the dealer completes the repair.
- Call Land Rover customer service at 1-800-369-1000 with questions about the free repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Land Rover technician inspects the rear spoiler assembly. If the spoiler cover has not delaminated, the technician applies new adhesive to secure the upper cover. If the outer surface has detached, been lost, or been damaged, the technician installs a new spoiler. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. If you already paid for a repair tied to this defect, Land Rover's reimbursement plan covers eligible costs subject to its terms. Keep your repair paperwork and ask Land Rover customer service or the service desk how to submit documentation.
