What's wrong?
The rearview camera on the 2021-2025 Land Rover Discovery sits in the tailgate area and feeds the backup image to the driver display. It is part of the back-over prevention system, which helps show what is directly behind the SUV while reversing. That camera needs a dry mounting area and clear drainage around it.
On affected Discovery SUVs, water does not drain away from the camera area fast enough because the tailgate trim does not have enough drain holes. In heavy rainfall, water can pool around the camera. Over time, that trapped water can damage the camera, so the backup view becomes unreliable or stops working. The repair adds drainage by drilling holes in the underside of the tailgate trim.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the rear camera image looks distorted, cuts out, or stops showing when you shift into reverse, treat that as a sign the camera area needs inspection.

What's the safety risk?
A rearview camera image that does not display reduces rear visibility and increases the risk of a crash, especially while backing up. Use mirrors, look over your shoulder, and schedule service when Land Rover opens the repair. Repair will be free at any franchised Land Rover dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021-2025 Land Rover Discovery is included in this recall.
- Watch for Land Rover's interim safety letter expected September 11, 2026, then a later repair letter when the remedy opens.
- Call Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837 with questions and reference recall number 26V458.
- Use extra care when backing up if the rearview camera image does not display. Turn and check behind the vehicle before moving.
- Contact a franchised Land Rover dealer once the remedy opens for the free drain-hole and rearview-camera repair that helps keep water from damaging the camera.
What happens at the repair
The final dealer repair is not open yet. Once Land Rover makes it available, a Land Rover technician will drill additional drain holes in the underside of the tailgate trim, then inspect the rearview camera and replace it if water damage is found. The recall repair will be free once it opens. If you already paid for a related rearview camera repair, ask Land Rover customer service or the dealer about the manufacturer's standard reimbursement plan and keep your repair documentation.
