# Vercel deployment fails with Node.js engine version mismatch error

We are running into an issue where the `NodeJS` `24.14.0` is not working if we set `engine` to that specific LTS version. It feels like `24.13.0` is the only available version on Vercel right now. We were not sure if this is build cache issue however even trying redeploy without build cache seemed to cause issue. Any tips here

Build logs:

```bash
Warning: Detected "engines": { "node": "24.14.0" } in your `package.json` with major.minor.patch, but only major Node.js Version can be selected. Learn More: https://vercel.link/node-version

I do see [https://github.com/vercel/vercel/issues/11814](https://github.com/vercel/vercel/issues/11814) and it seems like vercel trails a bit but its been few weeks here AFAIK

That's pretty much the answer. Instead of setting a specific minor/patch version, you can choose a major version and let the build use the latest minor/patch available to it.

@amyegan any updates on when 23.14.0 will be available?

I don't have an estimated date for that yet
