What's wrong?
The certification label on the 2026 Land Rover Range Rover Sport is the permanent label that lists the vehicle's official weight information. That label helps owners, dealers, inspectors, and tire or loading checks confirm the vehicle matches the certified specifications. It is supposed to reflect the vehicle as certified before sale.
On affected Range Rover Sport vehicles, the label was printed with weight information that exceeds the certified value by 200 lbs. Land Rover traced the issue to build records and port handling, where an update notice was marked completed before the label correction was actually finished. The vehicle itself is not described as having a broken mechanical part. The defect is the incorrect printed certification information.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners are unlikely to notice the label problem during normal driving because it sits on the certification label, not in a warning light, sound, smell, or change in how the vehicle drives.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Land Rover technician removes the incorrect certification label and installs the replacement label with the correct vehicle weight information. The label replacement and labor are free under the recall. Land Rover used its general reimbursement plan for this campaign, so out-of-pocket label-related repairs paid before the recall notice can be submitted for review under that plan. Bring any repair invoice, payment receipt, and dealer paperwork to the service desk so Land Rover can review the claim.
