CLOSED ISSUE - On certain 2017 to 2020 model year Land Rover vehicles the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) may illuminate if the vehicle is refueled within 15 seconds of turning the engine off. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) P0496-00 may be stored in the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
