Jaguar Land Rover, the parent company of the those two vaunted brands, is recalling more than 93,000 vehicles due to a defect that could reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
According to a recall notice posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, certain vehicles manufactured by Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC are being recalled due to water not properly draining from the rearview cameras, citing "insufficient drain holes."
"A blurred image or lack of display of the rearview camera image may result in the driver being unaware of objects or pedestrians," the safety recall report says.
Here's what we know about the model of vehicle that's included the recall and what car owners should do next.
