One owner of a 2026 Range Rover Sport in the United States is about to have an unusually exclusive recall experience. Jaguar Land Rover will notify them in November that their new SUV needs to visit a dealership, making theirs the only vehicle included in this campaign. It is an unfortunate bit of timing.
Built on February 16, 2026, the Range Rover Sport was identified through a supplier review of production records. That analysis found that the circuit board inside its powertrain control module (PCM) may be misaligned. JLR says the defect could cause the engine to stall without warning.
According to the NHTSA recall notice, supplier Bosch found a small number of modules that were incorrectly aligned. JLR issued a Quarantine notice for vehicles built with those components so they could be repaired before being delivered. However, the company believes four vehicles containing the fault had already reached customers.
JLR has not explained why the recall covers only one of the four vehicles believed to be in customers’ possession. The company says it is unaware of any incidents or injuries associated with the defect.
The sole owner affected by the recall will be notified on November 20, 2026. A local dealership will replace the complete powertrain control module at no cost.
Another Recent Electrical Recall
This is not the only electrical recall Jaguar Land Rover has announced in recent weeks. Earlier this month, the British automaker said nearly 24,000 vehicles in the United States equipped with 48-volt mild-hybrid powertrains could suffer a DCDC converter failure. That problem can stop the 12-volt system from charging and eventually cause the engine to shut off while the vehicle is in motion.
The affected SUVs include the Land Rover Defender, Discovery, and Discovery Sport, along with the Range Rover Velar, full-size Range Rover, and Evoque. The campaign also covers the Jaguar F-Pace and E-Pace.
Jaguar Land Rover is recalling one 2026 Range Rover Sport built on February 16 after Bosch identified potentially misaligned circuit boards in certain powertrain control modules. The defect could cause an unexpected engine stall, although no incidents or injuries have been reported. The owner will receive notice on November 20, 2026, and have the PCM replaced free of charge, following another recent JLR electrical recall.
