What's wrong?
The recalled part is the front seat cover on certain 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque vehicles with climate specification front seats trimmed in Dinamica cloth. The cover is the fabric surface over the seat foam and climate-control layers. Interior seat material must resist flame spread long enough to meet FMVSS 302.
On affected vehicles, the laminate bonded Dinamica cloth does not meet that burn-rate requirement. Supplier testing found that the laminated backing changed how the material burned. In a fire, the seat material can burn quicker than allowed, which is why Land Rover recalled this seat-cover specification.
There is no warning sign before failure. This is a material flammability issue, not a wear problem you would feel in the seat, hear while driving, or see as a dashboard warning light.

What's the safety risk?
If a fire occurs, a front seat cover that burns too quickly can increase the risk of injury. There is no listed warning sign before this material problem, so use your VIN result to schedule the seat-cover replacement soon. Repair is free at any franchised Land Rover dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Land Rover dealer to schedule the free front seat cover replacement that corrects the Dinamica cloth burn-rate defect.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 20V794 when you call.
- Avoid smoking or open flames inside the vehicle until the front seat covers are replaced.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Land Rover technician replaces the front seat covers on the affected Range Rover Evoque. The replacement parts and labor are free under the recall. Out of pocket repairs already paid are handled through Land Rover's new vehicle warranty program, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the affected vehicles are still under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
