I own a 2020 Land Rover, VIN [xxx], which is affected by NHTSA safety recall 26v-248 / Jaguar Land Rover recall d126. I brought the vehicle to an authorized Land Rover dealership after the check-engine light illuminated. While the vehicle was at the dealership, I requested that the open d126 safety recall also be performed. The dealer informed me that they could not perform the recall software update because my 12-volt battery is “almost failing” and told me that I would first have to pay out of pocket to replace the battery. I am concerned about this because recall 26v-248 specifically involves the vehicle’s DC-DC converter and insufficient electrical load balancing. According to the recall, a failure of the DC-DC converter can result in loss of 12-volt system charging and can ultimately cause loss of motive power and exterior lighting I did not bring the vehicle to the dealership because of a dead battery or because the vehicle would not start. I drove the vehicle to the dealership because the check-engine light had illuminated. The dealer is effectively requiring me to purchase a 12-volt battery before they will perform the open safety-recall remedy. I have asked for documentation showing the battery test results, the diagnostic trouble codes associated with the check-engine light, and the manufacturer procedure explaining why the existing battery prevents the dealer from performing recall d126. I am concerned that the condition of the 12-volt battery could potentially be associated with the charging-system defect that is the subject of this recall. I do not believe I should be required to pay for a component potentially affected by the recalled charging-system condition simply in order to obtain the federally mandated recall remedy. I am requesting that NHTSA review whether Jaguar Land Rover and/or its authorized dealer may require an owner to purchase a replacement 12-volt battery as a condition of performing recall 26v-248, particularly whe information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information.
The Range Rover would not start had to jump start, vehicle is available completely dead does not jump start after finally starting the vehicle exiting the parking lot car completely lost all power completely turned off I was unable to steer the car nor apply the brakes towed to the dealership a battery test was done and charging system check they did not find the issue vehicle was inspected by the dealer only at time when the car was brought in charging system fault detected warning.
