When the check engine light flashes on a 2020 Land Rover Defender 110, it usually indicates a severe condition such as a misfire that can damage the catalytic converter or create unsafe running. Flashing often means immediate attention is required: stop driving if you can, limit engine load, and have the vehicle towed to a certified service center. Our dealership provides same-day assessments when possible, factory-grade diagnostics, and technicians trained on Land Rover systems. Prompt dealer intervention reduces the risk of costly downstream damage and preserves warranty eligibility—remember, repairs covered by warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid and to maximize long-term savings.
