2019 Land Rover Discovery

The Discovery 5's electronic air suspension (EAS) system experiences height sensor drift and compressor failure. The vehicle sits unevenly, leans to one side, or fails to raise from access height. A 'Suspension Fault' message appears, and the system defaults to normal height only. The height sensors corrode at their lower mounting points due to water and road debris exposure.

Replace the faulty height sensors and recalibrate the suspension system with the dealer diagnostic tool. If the compressor has failed, replace it along with the air dryer. A full system leak-down test should be performed to rule out air strut or line leaks. JLR TSB LTB00680 covers EAS diagnostics.

The InControl Touch Pro system goes to a black screen or becomes extremely slow and unresponsive. The navigation crashes, Bluetooth phone calls drop, and the backup camera becomes unavailable. The system may take 2-3 minutes to fully boot on startup. Some owners report the system rebooting spontaneously while driving.

A dealer software update resolves many stability issues. The SSD storage in the infotainment module can become fragmented, and a full system reinstallation may be needed. If the hardware has failed, the infotainment control module must be replaced. TSB LTB00671 provides a diagnostic flow.

The 3.0L Td6 diesel engine's exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler can develop internal leaks, allowing coolant into the intake manifold. Simultaneously, the diesel particulate filter (DPF) clogs with excessive short-trip driving. Symptoms include white exhaust smoke, loss of coolant, rough running, and the engine entering limp mode with reduced power.

Replace the EGR cooler if an internal leak is confirmed through a combustion gas test of the coolant. A DPF forced regeneration should be attempted first; if the DPF is beyond recovery, it must be replaced. JLR recall 18V-591 addresses EGR cooler failures on certain Td6 engines.

The Discovery's wading depth sensors (mounted low on the body) malfunction or provide false readings. Additionally, door seals at the bottom of the front and rear doors allow water to enter the footwells during heavy rain or car washes. Owners find damp carpets and, in severe cases, standing water in the passenger footwell.

Replace the faulty wading depth sensors and ensure the rubber grommets on the lower body harness connectors are properly sealed. Door seals should be replaced if they are compressed or cracked. The footwells must be dried thoroughly to prevent corrosion and mold. JLR TSB LTB00695 addresses body water intrusion.

The electronic steering column lock (SCL) module fails, preventing the vehicle from starting. The key fob is recognized, the dashboard illuminates, but the engine will not crank and a 'Steering Column Lock Fault' message is displayed. The issue is caused by an internal microswitch failure in the SCL module and can strand owners without warning.

Replace the electronic steering column lock module. The module must be programmed to the vehicle and the key fobs re-synced using the JLR diagnostic tool. A mobile JLR technician can perform the repair roadside in some cases. JLR issued recall N546 for SCL failures on certain Discovery models.

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2017-2020 Land Rover Discovery vehicles. The UniLatch Keyless Vehicle (KV) entry function may fail to properly latch the rear passenger doors, which can result in the doors opening while driving. In addition, the instrument cluster open-door warning light may fail to alert the driver of this condition.

Rear passenger doors that open while driving can increase the risk of a crash. An instrument cluster warning light that fails to alert the driver about unsecured doors can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Dealers will disable the UniLatch Keyless Vehicle (KV) entry function, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 26, 2023. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N798.

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC. (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Discovery, and Range Rover Velar vehicles. The Auto High Beam (AHB) system does not indicate through the instrument cluster when the high beams are illuminated automatically. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The driver may be unaware that the high beams are illuminated, reducing visibility for oncoming traffic, and increasing the risk of a crash.

Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software, free of charge. The recall began April 7, 2021. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N556.

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Discovery vehicles. A loose contact between the battery ground stud and the chassis may result in various electrical faults, possibly causing a loss of electrical power or the vehicle to shut down while driving.

If the vehicle shuts down or loses exterior lighting while driving there could be an increased risk of a crash.

Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ground stud, free of charge. The recall began December 17, 2020. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-369-1000. Land Rover's number for this recall is N400.

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2019 Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar and Discovery vehicles. The affected vehicles are equipped with V6 or V8 engines whose crankshaft pulley retaining bolt may fracture possibly resulting in engine failure.

Engine failure can increase the risk of crash.

Land Rover has notified owners, and dealers will replace the crankshaft pulley center retaining bolt, free of charge. The recall began February 12, 2019. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N276.
