What's wrong?
The driver's seat belt in 2016-2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport and Range Rover vehicles uses an emergency locking retractor. The retractor is the spool inside the belt assembly. It lets the belt pull out during normal movement, then locks the belt when the vehicle stops hard or a crash load hits the belt.
On affected vehicles, that emergency locking retractor does not lock as intended. If the retractor stays unlocked during a sudden stop or crash, the belt cannot restrain the driver the way the seat belt system is designed to do. Land Rover is recalling these vehicles because the driver's belt assembly does not meet the required seat belt and occupant protection standards.
There is no warning sign before failure. The belt can feel normal when you buckle it, pull it across your body, or drive, even though the emergency locking function is the part under recall.
Who's affected?
Covers Range Rover and Range Rover Sport across the 2016 and 2017 model years, both with the same front seat belt retractor.

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?
In a hard-braking event before a crash, the seat belt emergency locking retractor can fail to lock as intended. That raises the chance of injury because the belt is not holding the occupant as designed. Schedule the inspection and seat belt assembly replacement soon. Repair is free at any franchised Land Rover dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm whether your 2016-2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport or Range Rover is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Land Rover dealer to schedule the free seat-belt assembly inspection and replacement that fixes the driver's emergency locking retractor.
- Bring the recall notice if Land Rover mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V219 and Land Rover recall N678 when you call.
- Tell the dealer if your vehicle was inspected under recall 19V-350 but did not receive a replacement seat belt assembly.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, leave extra following distance, and avoid hard braking.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Land Rover technician inspects the driver's seat belt assembly and replaces it if the emergency locking retractor does not lock as intended. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. If the vehicle was inspected under the earlier recall but did not receive a replacement seat belt assembly, this new repair still needs to be performed. If you already paid to repair this defect, Jaguar Land Rover's reimbursement plan covers eligible expenses, subject to its terms and conditions. Bring repair documentation to the service desk.
