2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport Service and Repair Manual
Ordered against the 2021 Land Rover Discovery Sport specifically, this factory service and repair manual follows the exact year, engine and trim you are working on — the 2.0L turbocharged four (VIN X, AJ20P) or the 3.0L mild-hybrid inline-six (VIN U) — so the clearances, torque values and service sequences in front of you are the ones Land Rover published for this vehicle, not figures carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2021 Discovery Sport. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the 12-volt battery: a loose contact between the battery ground stud and the chassis may result in various electrical faults, possibly causing a loss of electrical power or the vehicle to shut down while driving, and a vehicle that shuts down or loses exterior lighting while driving increases the risk of a crash. The second covers the front seat belt retractors, whose automatic locking function may deactivate early and prevent a child restraint system from securing properly; an unsecured child restraint system can increase the risk of injury during a crash. The third covers the DC-DC converter in the mild-hybrid propulsion system, which can fail due to an internal fault in the boost control microchip and will result in a loss of 12-Volt system charging; a loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash. The fourth covers the frontal air bags, where the driver's air bag clockspring connector may corrode and cause the air bag not to deploy as intended, which increases the risk of injury in a crash. The fifth covers the rearview camera, where insufficient drain holes may leave water unable to drain away from the camera and result in damage to it; a rearview camera image that does not display can decrease the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. Eleven complaints are on record for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you are chasing an electrical fault back to the battery ground stud, inspecting a clockspring connector, or checking a retractor before a child seat goes back in, every step stays on Land Rover's own procedure and specification for this 2021 Discovery Sport.
