Jaguar Land Rover North America is recalling approximately 582 of its 2026 Land Rover Defender vehicles. The recall is due to an issue where a bracket used to anchor the third-row seat belts may have been manufactured with an insufficient weld stud. Dealers will replace the affected seat belt anchorage bracket or the weld-stud on the bracket at no cost to owners.
If the seat belt anchorage bracket is not welded properly, the seat belt may fail to securely restrain a passenger during a crash. This defect significantly increases the risk of injury to occupants in the third row during a collision.
Recall involves the third-row lower seat belt anchorage bracket. Land Rover recall numbers D098 and D113.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
