What Happened
Jaguar Land Rover's North American arm is recalling 93,997 Range Rover SUVs from the 2022 through 2026 model years because their backup cameras can go dark. Federal regulators filed the campaign under the electrical system's backover prevention camera category.
Water gathers in the drainage channel on the tailgate, which cannot clear it fast enough, according to the recall summary. From there the damp reaches the rearview camera housing and corrodes the electronics inside. A corroded camera either quits entirely or shows a blank image once reverse is engaged.

Jaguar Land Rover plans to mail owner notification letters.
Losing the rearward picture shrinks what a driver can see behind the vehicle, raising the odds of a backover crash. It also leaves the SUVs non-compliant with FMVSS No. 111, the federal standard covering rear visibility.
Why this matters
Owners of the affected 2022-2026 Range Rovers pay nothing for the repair, but must wait for a notification letter before booking the work. A backup camera that quits in reverse takes away a safety aid U.S. rules require, so the campaign is about compliance as much as convenience for drivers.
