Just got a recall notice for 2022
#21
@Kev M - It's likely because CarFax is much more aggressive than manufacturers. It's their business model to report vehicle conditions, so I get it. Very similar to why I value FlightAware to understand my flights. Airlines have so many legacy systems cobbled together that they do a **** poor job of notifying changes, delays, cancellations. It's FlightAware's business model so their integrations are much more streamlined.
Specifically, I think the challenge in notification may be because it isn't technically a recall.
If you wanted to find out if your vehicle has a recall, enter your VIN on the Land Rover site dedicated to it: (Link). In my case, nothing shows up.
But, if you want to see if there are any outstanding campaigns (TSB's, CSB's, other acronyms), use this link from Land Rover's TOPIx tool. Use the lower right search. Don't need to authenticate to find out about open Campaigns: (Link). Sure enough, there it is - Campaign N627 "POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION ASSEMBLY".

But it is a campaign that doesn't seem to require a symptom.
It is listed as applicable (which the dealer confirmed when we asked the other day).
I still don't have any solid details about WHY - what exactly is/was deficient in the OEM PCV valve and related components or what exactly is the improved portion. But it's scheduled to be done next Monday for us.
Outstanding service actions found.
You are advised to contact your local Jaguar Land Rover to arrange for the necessary rectification work.- Outstanding Campaigns
N627 - POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION ASSEMBLY
Campaign Code: N627

I dropped my 21 p400 off last week. The dealer kept it for the day. the truck was running fine when I dropped it off. My drive home was fine until I exited the interstate and came to a stop. The truck started idling up and down ...then it dropped to 0 RPMs and kicked out of gear. I had to restart it. Luckily I was only 5 mins from my house. Once home it did it again in my driveway. I shut the truck down to reset the systems. Restarted and it was running fine. I contacted the dealer and sent them a video.
I didn't drive it for a few days and yesterday I had to drive into the city. Highway drive was fine and once I exited onto surface streets...SAME PROBLEM!
I pulled over and restarted again. Called the dealer and laid into them with many profanities about how my truck was fine until they did this recall "FIX" and now my truck is stalling out and the check engine light is on.
I dropped it off at LR yesterday and will know what the problem is on Monday.
3 months of ownership and it has been in the shop 4x ....I almost traded it for An Audi Etron Gt prestige sedan yesterday...I WOULD NEVER OWN THIS TRUCK OR ANY OTHER LR WITHOUT A FACTORY WARRANTY!

No letter (!!!!****) but TOPIx does show this recall for my VIN.
Sure wish JLR operated like it was the 21st century. Do they have hundreds of disparate systems they cannot connect?
I have a state inspection appointment in June, plus a bunch of other stuff...now I get to add this.
Thanks for post, allowing me to look and find the recall!

@WMN - Neither did I. In Topix, when you open the Service Campaign, there's a menu nav on the left. The third item is "Customer Letter". In one of the docs, I forget which, it explains that the letters are going out in a controlled way (waves?) so that the Service departments can handle all the vehicles. What that means in actual execution is beyond me, but I figure that's why I haven't gotten the actual letter yet either. I envy your Dealer is close. Then I would do the same and just take it to them, but the logistics don't work for me. Ymmv - but for me I just bought the kit for $13 and it appears to only be .3 hours. I plan to do it myself when I have some time because I think it's quicker than driving either to or from the Dealer (let alone the entire ordeal) and the frustration of who knows what happening.

Will do. Was planning on finishing my rear spotlights and the recall over Memorial weekend.
Many years ago, I had just finished my frame up restoration of the Series IIa and all the neighbors knew I was a shade tree mechanic. A neighbor's little kid would always come by and I would fix his bike. One Memorial Weekend, he came by with his new to him, used Ford Probe. He was now 16, the head gasket was blown, and he couldn't afford to fix it. He spent his own money to buy the POS. His budding dating scene was grounded. I took mercy on a fellow, but younger traveler along the path of understanding women. This was maybe the mid' 90's. I spent the ENTIRE Memorial Weekend fixing it. Sun up to sun down and that pig was COMPLEX. Way before the internet, YouTube, and Forums, I was using a shop manual to figure it out. It was full fuel injection, tight quarters, and LOTS of crap to unwire, unplug, re-route. Took forever to take off the manifolds and I procured a lot of new tools that weekend at the local NAPA. Finally, I had Frankenstein's monster back together and the kid left overjoyed & well educated. He was my assistant for the organ transplant. A week later, he came back and apologized because he had totalled the Probe in an accident. He was fine, the white car was toast.
I hope this Memorial Day goes easier and the outcome, longer lasting. I'll document it, but all bets are off beyond that and ymmv.
