“Land Rover Range Rover Sport 2020: High Beam Warning System Issue.” GovInfoNow, updated October 4, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/79820-land-rover-range-rover-sport-2020-high-beam-warning-system. Based on NHTSA recall #21V117000 (https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=21V117000).

Why it’s dangerous

The vehicle's high beam system automatically turns on high beams without alerting the driver through the dashboard. This means drivers may not know their high beams are on, potentially causing them to be unaware of oncoming traffic and increasing crash risk.

Who’s affected

Owners of 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport vehicles are affected. Drivers using these vehicles without the software update are at risk of reduced visibility when high beams are active.

How to tell if you have this one

Check if your 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Sport has the high beam system that doesn't indicate when high beams are illuminated. The recall covers vehicles from 2018-2020, but the specific issue is in the 2020 model.
