What's wrong?
The floor side panel on 2024 Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles is part of the body structure that helps tie the lower body together. Structural adhesive is the bonding material that helps those panels act like one stiff shell instead of separate pieces. When it is applied in the right location, the body keeps its designed strength.
On affected vehicles, the adhesive bead was placed in the wrong position on the underside of the bodyshell during assembly. That leaves the panels inadequately bonded. The vehicle still looks complete from the outside, but the body structure does not have the structural capability Land Rover designed into it.
There is no warning sign before failure. This is a hidden bonding problem, not a symptom you feel through the steering, brakes, or dashboard while driving.
Who's affected?
The scope centers on the floor-side panel in the body structure for both Range Rover body styles.

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?
Reduced body structure strength can leave passengers with less crash protection and increases injury risk. Crash damage to the fuel system can also cause a fuel leak and increase fire risk. If your VIN is included, schedule the dealer repair soon and drive cautiously until it is complete. Repair is free at any franchised Land Rover dealer.
