Jaguar Land Rover is recalling more than 15,000 vehicles over an issue that could affect the rearview camera, which could limit the driver’s rear visibility while reversing, according to federal regulators.
A total of 15,535 vehicles are potentially affected by the recall, covering 2021-2025 Land Rover Discovery models, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in its recall notice.
The NHTSA said that “insufficient drain holes” could prevent water from draining properly, damaging the rearview camera and increasing the risk of a crash.

“Water may not be able to drain away from the rearview camera due to insufficient drain holes, which may result in damage to the rearview camera,” the agency said.
“A water-damaged camera may not display an image, or may display an unclear image, when requested to do so,” the notice reads.
Jaguar Land Rover has received 100 U.S. claims and field reports related to the issue. No related crashes, injuries or fires have been reported.
Car owners are instructed to take their vehicles to a dealership for inspection, where the camera will be replaced at no cost if necessary.
Dealers will also drill additional drain holes in the underside of the tailgate trim.
