The check engine light has illuminated despite the vehicle being less than two months old.

Unfortunately, it seems that fortune has not favored me. This morning, I traveled around three miles when I saw that the check engine light was on. I returned home and used the Land Rover Remote app under the Health section to do an investigation. The engine displayed the accompanying information:

Engine Failure
Engine Malfunction

Malfunction of the engine management system. Should the bulb illuminate when the engine is operational, an emissions-related malfunction exists. The car is operable but may engage limp-home mode, resulting in diminished performance. Obtain expert help at the earliest opportunity. A misfire has been identified if the light illuminated when the engine is operational. Decrease your velocity and promptly get professional aid.

Has anybody seen this before, and if so, what was the resolution? This is a P550e with 468 miles recorded. It is particularly inconvenient as I am two hours distant from the closest dealership. I am quite apprehensive about doing the journey that far, particularly if it were to enter limp-home mode.

The check engine light illuminated on my P550e subsequent to refueling at a gas station. If the light is not illuminated, it is safe to operate the vehicle. The dealer had to repair the gasoline filler door mechanism on my vehicle. The dealer said it was the first instance of a replacement, and it required some effort to identify the cause. The check engine light has not reactivated since then.

On two occasions, I had a Check Engine Light (CEL) under 1000 miles; one instance was due to a faulty oxygen sensor (2016 L494), and the second was attributed to a defective engine thermometer (2022 G63). I hope yours is as mild and easily resolvable, notwithstanding the two-hour travel.
