NCC issues safety recall for Range Rover models due to manufacturing defect

The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has announced a safety recall affecting select 2022 to 2026 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models.

This comes after a manufacturing defect was identified in the panoramic roof side finishers, which may not have been properly secured during factory rework.

The commission said the faulty adhesion could cause the trim to loosen or detach over time, posing a potential risk to road users.

"The recall affects five vehicles manufactured between December 2021 and December 2025. The supplier informed the NCC that the adhesion process used to reattach the panoramic roof side finishers during vehicle quality rework operations may not have been sufficient," the consumer watchdog said.

The NCC warned that the part could come loose gradually or detach completely, potentially distracting drivers or endangering pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, and increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
