Concern

E-PACE F-PACE Defender Discovery Sport Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Velar PHEV Traction Battery Fire Risk

Defect, as DVSA words it

Vehicles have experienced thermal overload which may manifest in smoke or fire that may occur underneath the rear of the vehicle where the high voltage traction battery is located. The root cause is not yet known and investigations are continuing. A vehicle thermal overload condition such as fire or smoke can result in increased risk of occupant injury and/or injury to persons outside the vehicle as well as property damage.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Vehicles will be inspected by the retailer and as required at-risk battery packs will be replaced.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

Land Rover DISCOVERY SPORT in the other registers

This site holds seven national and European registers. Land Rover DISCOVERY SPORT is named on 11 American notices, 9 Canadian, 15 European and 10 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

The American register

The Canadian register

The European register

The Israeli register

Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Land Rover elsewhere in this register

Land Rover is named on 159 notices in the copy of the DVSA’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same concern: E-PACE F-PACE Defender Discovery Sport Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Velar PHEV Traction Battery Fire Risk

2 notices in this register name E-PACE F-PACE Defender Discovery Sport Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Velar PHEV Traction Battery Fire Risk. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
