NHTSA's free decode confirms what the Land Rover is. It does not tell you what it has been through. Used Land Rovers often pass through multiple owners and high price brackets, where accident or title history disclosure is variable.

|---|---|
| Manufacturer, plant, year, body class | Every reported accident with severity and damage area |
| Engine, drivetrain, fuel type | Odometer readings across the vehicle's life, with rollback flags |

A free NHTSA decode returns factory data and open recalls. It does not include:
NICB reports 659,880 vehicles were stolen in the US in 2025, and luxury SUVs including the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport rank among the higher-value theft-target models, particularly for export. NICB's free VINCheck flags only theft and salvage from member insurers; it does not show accident history or odometer detail. A Zilocar vehicle history report layers state DMV title data, NICB salvage and theft records, NHTSA recall data, insurance carrier accident reports, and auction sales history into one document.

A Land Rover VIN has 17 characters following ISO 3779. Positions 1–3 are the World Manufacturer Identifier. SAL marks a UK-built Land Rover (the primary WMI for Defender, Discovery, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar from Solihull; Range Rover Evoque historically from Halewood). SAJ marks a Jaguar Land Rover passenger car. SCA marks a Solihull-built Range Rover variant. Production plants include Solihull (West Midlands, UK), Halewood (Merseyside, UK), Nitra (Slovakia, building Defender and Discovery), and Itatiaia (Brazil). Position 10 is the model year code; position 11 is the plant. For VIN-specific recall completion status direct from the manufacturer, the Land Rover official recall lookup is updated faster than NHTSA's aggregated database for some campaigns and covers all recalls issued in the last 15 years.
The VIN is in the lower-left corner of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb sticker, the title, registration, and insurance documents. The Land Rover Remote and InControl Touch Pro infotainment system also display it.
NHTSA Campaign 24V-450, oil filter housing crack and fire risk (June 2024): Covers certain 2023–2024 Defender, 2024 Discovery, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Range Rover Velar vehicles. Incorrect plastic specification caused oil filter housings to crack over time, allowing oil to leak onto hot engine or exhaust components and creating a fire risk. The recall was identified through a field report of a hairline crack in April 2024 and traced to the supplier. Dealer notifications occurred June 14, 2024; owner notifications mailed by August 9, 2024.
Range Rover Evoque passenger airbag (2020–2025): A separate recall covers 2020–2025 Range Rover Evoque vehicles where the passenger airbag may tear during deployment, potentially failing to protect the occupant and allowing hot gases to escape. Owner notification letters mailed February 17, 2026. Dealers will repair the passenger airbag module free of charge.
NHTSA Campaign December 2025, gear shift module moisture (Land Rover code D054/H566): Covers 2025 Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Discovery Sport, and 2026 Range Rover Evoque, plus Jaguar F-Pace vehicles. Moisture entering the gear shift module during assembly can cause the gear shift position indicator light to fail (FMVSS 101 noncompliance). Dealers will replace the GSM at no cost. Owner letters mailed December 2, 2025.

Dealers inspect knuckles and install a retaining bracket or replace the knuckle as necessary. Owner notification letters were mailed December 18, 2024 (interim) and September 5, 2025 (final).
Engine cam carrier oil channel (2019–2023): A March 2023 recall covered 2019–2023 Range Rover Sport, 2020–2023 Range Rover and Defender, 2022–2023 Discovery, and 2023 Range Rover Velar vehicles where the engine cam carrier oil channel may be blocked, leading to an oil leak and fire risk.
Second-row center seat belt (2025 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport): April 22, 2025 recall (Land Rover code N946) covers 2025 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles where the second-row center seat belt buckle may not latch correctly due to a manufacturing error. Dealers replace the buckle and retaining bolt free of charge.

The NHTSA decode at the top of this page is free and returns the official manufacturer-filed Land Rover VIN data. For the most current Land Rover-specific recall completion status, the Land Rover official recall lookup is the manufacturer source. A full Zilocar vehicle history report covers what NHTSA and the manufacturer's recall search do not: accident records, title brands, odometer readings, ownership timeline, and auction history. Auction history is particularly relevant for used Range Rovers, where prior auction-house resale photos often reveal damage hidden by subsequent detailing.
The report gave some additional information that CarFax did not show, and from that I was able to make a more informed decision on the purchase of a used Corvette that I was looking into.
NHTSA decode returns factory specs and open recalls. A full Zilocar report adds accidents, owners, title brands, odometer history, theft, and auction photos. Everything you need before you commit to a used Land Rover. Zilocar aggregates 70+ sources including NHTSA and NICB, processing 30,000+ daily VIN checks.
