Range Rover Sport Recalls 2026: One Truck, 873 Others, How to Check

Land Rover has two new Range Rover Sport recalls: 26V607 covers a single 2026 vehicle with a misaligned PCM circuit board, and 26V613 covers 873 vehicles (2024 to 2026) with possibly cracked rear subframes. Both repairs are free at dealers.

Key Takeaways

  • Recall 26V607: just one 2026 Range Rover Sport, for a misaligned powertrain control module (PCM) circuit board that can cause loss of drive power (NHTSA data via LLGP).
  • Recall 26V613: 873 Range Rover Sports (2024 to 2026) for rear subframes that may crack (NHTSA letter).
  • Both fixes are free at a dealer, with owner letters expected November 20, 2026.
  • Check your VIN on NHTSA’s recall lookup. It takes about a minute.

Land Rover has recalled exactly one Range Rover Sport, and it has recalled 873 others. The single-vehicle recall is a statistical curiosity that Jalopnik highlighted. The 873-vehicle campaign is the one that could matter to your safety. Here is how to tell whether either applies to you.

Recall 26V607: The Single-Truck Recall

Quick answer: Land Rover is recalling one 2026 Range Rover Sport built on February 16, 2026, because the circuit board inside its powertrain control module was misaligned and may be deformed. The remedy is a free PCM replacement. The recall was filed with NHTSA on September 23, 2026.

Per the filing summary, the owner will get an interim letter on November 20, 2026. Carscoops reports the dealer will replace the entire module at no cost. The problem can cause the vehicle to lose drive power, which is why it is a safety recall even at a population of one.

The unique NHTSA recall 26V607 specifically targets a single Range Rover Sport unit for an isolated powertrain control module (PCM) circuit board misalignment.

Recall 26V613: The Bigger Problem

Quick answer: Land Rover is recalling 873 US Range Rover Sports (2024 to 2026 model years) because rear subframes may develop cracks. A cracked subframe can reduce structural integrity and affect handling. Dealers will inspect and replace the subframe free of charge.

The NHTSA acknowledgment letter lists a build window at Solihull from October 3, 2023 to May 22, 2026, and the supplier flagged a forging defect on June 4, 2026. No crashes, injuries or fires have been reported so far. Note that Jalopnik cites a higher count of 1,073 SV models, while the NHTSA letter shows 873, so confirm your own VIN rather than relying on totals.

How to Check Your Range Rover Sport

  1. Find your 17-character VIN on the dashboard base or driver-door jamb.
  2. Enter it in NHTSA’s recall lookup tool, as listed by the Franklin County Free Press, or use the plate-number option.
  3. If the result shows open recalls, call a Land Rover dealer and book the free repair.
  4. Buying used? Run the VIN before signing. Ask the seller to prove recall work was done.

The Bigger Picture

Jalopnik counts five active recalls on the 2026 Range Rover Sport. Buying a luxury SUV does not guarantee a flawless one, and a high price should not reduce your due diligence. One or two recalls do not make a model unsafe, but you should confirm the work is complete.

Autoakhbar Verdict

Who should act now: any owner of a 2024 to 2026 Range Rover Sport, especially SV trims.

Who can relax a little: owners whose VIN returns no open recalls.

Biggest concern: the subframe recall, which touches structure and handling.

Reassurance: both repairs are free and no injuries are reported yet.

FAQ

Why would Land Rover recall just one vehicle?

A manufacturing issue may affect only a handful of parts. Safety law requires a recall if even one vehicle has a defect that could affect safety.

How many Range Rover Sports are in the subframe recall?

The NHTSA letter lists 873 US vehicles from the 2024 to 2026 model years.

Do I have to pay for the recall repair?

No. Dealers will perform the inspection and replacement free of charge.
