What's wrong?
The 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque uses restraint control module software to manage part of the supplemental restraint system. That system includes the air bag and restraint warning functions, including the SRS warning light that tells the driver when the vehicle has detected a restraint-system fault. The warning light needs correct software logic so it reflects the system status clearly.
On affected vehicles, the restraint control module software was programmed incorrectly. That software error can make the SRS warning light malfunction and illuminate intermittently. Instead of giving a steady, reliable warning pattern, the light behavior can come and go, which makes it harder for an owner or technician to tell when the restraint system needs attention.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is inside the software, so the vehicle does not give a separate noise, smell, vibration, or other mechanical clue before the SRS warning light behavior starts.

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 false SRS warning light can mask a real air bag system failure. If the light is on, have the vehicle checked because a hidden restraint fault increases injury risk in a crash. Schedule the restraints control module software update 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 your nearest franchised Land Rover dealer to schedule the free restraints control module software update that fixes the SRS warning-light malfunction.
- Bring the owner letter if you received one. If not, reference recall number 22V080 when you call.
- Treat any SRS warning light as serious and have the dealer complete the RCM update before assuming the air bag system is clear.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Land Rover technician updates the restraints control module software so the supplemental restraint system warning light works as intended. The software update, 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.
