The 2020 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SPORT has 5 complaints and 101 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to electrical components, air conditioning units, and infotainment system software. One complaint describes a failure to accelerate while driving, accompanied by the check engine light activating and a loss of motive power.
Common Issues- Electrical system failures. Complaints highlight problems with electrical components affecting various vehicle functions.
- Air conditioning malfunctions. Owners report issues with the A/C unit performance requiring repairs.
- Infotainment software bugs. The "in-control" infotainment system experiences software errors disrupting normal operation.
- Loss of acceleration. A failure to accelerate as intended occurs while driving, causing the vehicle to decelerate unexpectedly.
- Check engine light activation. The warning light illuminates during incidents involving loss of motive power.
There are 101 recalls affecting this vehicle model, impacting various systems including electrical components, seat belts, and instrument panel software. These recalls address potential safety hazards and aim to correct software errors and mechanical defects.
Recalls- Electrical system MOSFET defect. NHTSA recall 20V683000 affects 3,048 vehicles. The 48-volt electrical system can overload, causing failure of the MOSFET and resulting in a short-circuit in the DCDC converter. This defect increases fire risk. Owners should park outside and away from structures until software updates are applied by dealers free of charge. The recall started December 8, 2020.
- Seat belt retractor failure. Recall 21V668000 covers 32,687 vehicles including this model. The seat belt automatic locking retractors may deactivate prematurely, preventing child restraints from securing properly. This increases the risk of injury in crashes. Dealers inspect and replace seat belt assemblies as needed at no cost.
- Instrument panel speedometer error. Recall 20V751000 involves 23 vehicles. A software bug causes the speedometer and odometer to randomly switch between MPH and KM/H without driver input, which may confuse drivers and lead to excessive speed. Dealers will update software free of charge. The recall began January 19, 2021.
Owners dealing with ongoing repairs for electrical failures, acceleration problems, or unresolved recall issues may want to review their rights under state lemon laws. These laws provide protections for consumers facing repeated vehicle defects affecting safety and reliability.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2020 Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque vehicles. A software error may cause the instrument cluster to randomly alternate the speedometer and odometer units between Miles Per Hour (MPH) and Kilometers Per Hour (KM/H) without driver input to the display unit. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Control and Displays."
Risk: The changing displays may cause driver distraction or confusion and possibly result in excessive speed, which can increase the risk of a crash.
