What the notice says today
The issue
On certain vehicles, the DC/DC converter could fail. As a result, the 12 V battery would not charge and a red "Stop Safely Electrical Fault Detected" warning message would be displayed. If this happens, and you continue to drive the vehicle, there could be a loss of power to the wheels and/or the vehicle's lights could turn off.
The safety risk
A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Exterior lights that don't work may make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash.
What will be done
Land Rover will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the vehicle load balancing software.
Note
This recall is an expansion of Transport Canada recall no. 2026-196. Vehicles repaired under that recall don't require this repair. This recall only affects certain mild hybrid electric vehicles (MHEV).
Version française (Transport Canada)
Problème : Sur certains véhicules, le convertisseur C.C.-C.C. pourrait faire défaut. Par conséquent, la batterie 12 V ne se rechargerait pas et un message d'avertissement rouge « Stop Safely Electrical Fault Detected » (Arrêtez-vous en toute sécurité - Défaillance électrique détectée) s'afficherait. Si cela se produisait et que vous continuiez à conduire le véhicule, il pourrait y avoir une perte de puissance aux roues et/ou les feux du véhicule pourraient s'éteindre. Remarque : Ce rappel s'ajoute au rappel numéro 2026-196 de Transports Canada. Les véhicules réparés dans le cadre de ce rappel ne nécessitent pas cette réparation. Ce rappel concerne seulement certains véhicules électriques hybrides légers (MHEV). Risques pour la sécurité : Une perte de puissance aux roues pourrait augmenter le risque d'accident. Des feux extérieurs qui ne fonctionnent pas pourraient rendre le véhicule moins visible pour les autres et augmenter le risque d'accident. Mesures correctives : Land Rover doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander d'amener leur véhicule chez un concessionnaire pour faire mettre à jour le logiciel de répartition de la charge.
