What's wrong?
The second-row armrest lock in the 2022-2023 Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport is the latch for the storage compartment built into the rear-seat armrest. Its normal job is simple: keep the compartment closed so objects inside stay contained when the vehicle is moving or involved in a crash.
In NHTSA campaign 23V324, Land Rover says the latch can fail and allow items inside that armrest compartment to become unsecured during a crash. The concern is not normal wear from the owner or a missed service item. The recall covers vehicles built before Land Rover introduced a redesigned second-row armrest stowage compartment latch.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to hear a noise, see a warning light, or feel a change in how the SUV drives before the latch fails to hold the compartment closed.
Who's affected?
The scope spans Range Rover and Range Rover Sport SUVs, with the armrest lock listed as the shared component.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific SUV.
What's the safety risk?
In a crash, items stored inside the second row armrest compartment can come loose and strike occupants, increasing the risk of injury. Keep the compartment clear until the dealer replaces the locking arm, and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Land Rover dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2023 Land Rover Range Rover or 2023 Range Rover Sport is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Land Rover dealer to schedule the free second-row armrest locking-arm replacement that keeps stored objects secured in a crash.
- Bring the recall notice if Land Rover mailed one. If not, reference recall number 23V324 and Land Rover recall N789 when you call.
- Keep the second-row armrest storage compartment empty until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Land Rover technician replaces the locking arm for the second row armrest storage compartment. Parts and labor are free under recall 23V324. The repair secures the compartment latch so items stored inside stay restrained during a crash. Out of pocket repairs already paid are handled through Jaguar 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.
