Default Discovery MHEV • Electrical system warnings (DC/DC)

Trying to get the word out to Discovery / LR MHEV owners.

If you’ve ever received the “Electrical warning – please stop safely” message or experienced unexplained electrical issues, please take a minute to report it to NHTSA. A number of these cases are being associated with DC/DC converter failures, and individual reports are how patterns actually get recognized.

Reporting is quick and helps make sure this doesn’t keep getting dismissed as isolated incidents.

Report here:

👉 https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem

Even if it happened once, cleared on its own, or was already repaired.

Thanks for flagging. Currently waiting on a backordered DC to DC convert that failed while driving at 29k miles. Car is immobile until replaced.

Will file a report.

Anyone else waiting in a DC-DC Converter out there? Both dealer and JLRNA have said no ETA on the part.
