Land Rover bulletin N694
What it saysAffected vehicles require a proactive inspection and if required replacement windscreen to prevent wind noise or water ingress from the windscreen seal. NHTSA’s full summary ↓
Land Rover filed this with NHTSA as a manufacturer communication dated Jun 21, 2024, received Nov 6, 2022, about the equipment — 3 documents under this number: N694 DISCOVERY, N694-DISCOVERY and 1 more. It names 3 model years (2018–2020). A manufacturer communication is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 3 model years this bulletin names have filed 153 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 14 of them name Visibility/Wiper — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
Vehicle suffered a catastrophic failure of the manufacturer-directed safety campaign remedy for Service Action N694 (Windshield Water Leaks). The Vehicle was brought in for service immediately after receiving the N694 Service Action Notification in September 2023. The inspection found no leaks and no action was taken.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Land Rover N694 a recall?
No. A manufacturer communication is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the N694 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does N694 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 3 model years: 2020 Land Rover Discovery, 2019 Land Rover Discovery, 2018 Land Rover Discovery. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
