Known issues for this generation
Recall 18V-087 covers certain 2018 Range Rover Velar vehicles equipped with a 2.0L gasoline engine, and also certain Evoque and Discovery Sport models: fuel rail end caps may leak fuel vapor or liquid into the engine bay, increasing fire risk near hot components. Dealers replace the fuel rail. Recall 18V-139 covers certain 2018 Velar vehicles: ventilation air inlet door linkages may detach, preventing the system from clearing fog from the windshield; dealers update vehicle software. Recall 21V-117 covers certain 2018-2020 Velar vehicles among other Land Rover models: Auto High Beam does not indicate high-beam status on the cluster as required; dealers update software.
