What's wrong?
The second-row center seat belt buckle in the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport is the latch point for the center passenger's seat belt. When the belt tongue is pushed into the buckle, the buckle is supposed to lock it in place so the restraint stays connected during normal driving and a crash.
On affected vehicles, a supplier manufacturing jig failed to hold the buckle's internal cable in the correct location during riveting. That misplaced cable can block the belt tongue inside the buckle. When that happens, the tongue does not latch correctly, so the center rear belt is not secured the way it was built to be.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem shows up when someone tries to buckle the second-row center belt and it does not lock.
Who's affected?
Covers the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, both with the same center rear seat belt buckle assembly.
