THE PLATE THAT HOLDS UP THE GAS TANK IS RUSTING AWAY, CAUSING THE GAS TANK TO NOT BE FULLY SUPPORTED THIS COULD LEAD TO THE WHOLE GAS TANK BEING INSECURE
Known Recall Issue: The failure pattern aligns with known manufacturer defect categories involving: •Engine torque / internal engine failure conditions •Cooling system failure leading to overheating Shortly after I purchased my 2015 Range Rover, I started to have repeated and escalating safety-critical failures involving sudden loss of power, engine malfunction, and vehicle shutdown while driving at highway speeds. The vehicle has experienced multiple incidents of complete or partial power loss while in motion, resulting in near-collision events. Despite repeated repairs by authorized dealerships, the underlying defect has not been resolved. The failure pattern suggests a systemic mechanical defect involving engine performance and cooling system integrity rather than isolated maintenance issues. The primary safety concern is sudden loss of propulsion while driving at highway speeds, which has occurred on more than one occasion. These incidents present a significant risk of: •Rear-end collisions •Loss of vehicle control •Serious injury or fatality TECHNICAL FAILURE PATTERN Observed progression of failure: •Oil leakage / burning smell •Internal engine degradation symptoms •Cooling system failure and overheating •Electrical instability •Final engine shutdown / seizure events This suggests a systemic mechanical defect affecting engine integrity and thermal management systems. REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATION I respectfully request NHTSA to: 1.Investigate potential safety defects in this vehicle and model year 2.Evaluate whether similar failures are occurring in other vehicles 3.Assess adequacy of existing recall coverage 4.Review risk associated with sudden engine shutdown while driving 5.Determine whether recall expansion or additional safety action is warranted

i have tried to get the recall 25V-514 repaired at two separate LR dealerships. One in MA and one in FL No parts available and no information on when they will be available.. Call LR customer service only to be told they dont have any information on parts availability. Recieved original notification 12/18/24 Second notification 9/5/25 MANY people affected by this safety issue and NO-ONE KNOWS WHEN THIS WILL BE RESOLVED We need NHTSA help to light a fire under JLR
Front Passenger door unlatched with no warning. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I made a quick stop off the highway and my passenger and I got back in the vehicle and pulled off and the door opened. She pulled the door closed and it wouldn't latch. At this point we were miles away from home. The door could've unlatched on the highway that we were just on and caused a major accident by getting caught by the wind and blowing open which could've shifted the vehicle into a ditch or into other vehicles. My passenger could've been leaning on the door and could've been injured or dead if she fell out and the seat belt didn't hold. After encountering this issue, I have been researching and noticed Safety Recall N335 was issued for Range Rover vehicles, however my year is listed but my vin# fell slightly out of range for this recall. This is a huge issue and can impact my life as well as the lives of others when door stop unlatching.

NHTSA Complaint Update : Final Submission Subject: AMENDMENT for 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Rollaway: Confirmed CAN Bus Communication Failure & Pattern Consistent with Recall 16V-368 I am submitting this update to my original complaint regarding a life-threatening rollaway incident on April 4, 2025, involving my 2015 Land Rover Range Rover (VIN: [XXX] .) New Critical Information: Diagnostic Confirmation: During evaluation by Jaguar Land Rover North America (JLRNA), the vehicle registered the fault code: “High Speed CAN Communication Bus Missing Message.” JLRNA’s engineer confirmed this indicates the rotary gear selector failed to communicate with the transmission, meaning the vehicle could display “Park” while remaining in gear. Prior Malfunction: Days before the rollaway, the gear selector became stuck in Reverse, requiring a battery disconnect to reset the system demonstrating a repeatable electronic instability in the shift-by-wire system. Severe Injury: The rollaway resulted in the vehicle striking and rolling over me, causing crush trauma and rhabdomyolysis with CPK levels of 10,000 U/L a near- fatal medical emergency. Safety Concern: This failure mode false Park indication due to electronic shifter communication loss is functionally identical to the defect addressed in NHTSA Recall 16V-368 (FCA, 2016), which cited rollaways, injuries and death due to rotary shifters that “do not provide clear indication of actual gear position.” Jaguar Land Rover uses a similar monostable rotary shifter design with no mechanical feedback. Given the severity of this incident and the confirmed communication fault, I urge NHTSA to investigate whether this represents a broader safety defect affecting JLR vehicles. The vehicle remains in JLRNA’s custody. I have formally requested preservation of all electronic data and components. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Incident Description: On April 4, 2025, after placing the vehicle in "Park," it suddenly and rapidly began reversing without driver input. The open door struck me, knocking me to the ground and the vehicle rolled over my legs, groin and arm before stopping after colliding with a dirt pile. This resulted in severe injuries and hospitalization. The vehicle’s gear selector is the rotary dial type. Post incident diagnostic reports showed communication faults between the shifter assembly and transmission control. Jaguar Land Rover North America (JLRNA) currently has the vehicle under extended diagnostic evaluation but has not provided a confirmed root cause. The malfunction may relate to electronic gear-shift or transmission control failures. I am reporting this incident for federal safety review, as this defect presents a potential risk of uncommanded vehicle movement and serious bodily harm. Additional Information: The vehicle remains in JLRNA custody. Original diagnostic codes were recorded by their engineer. I have experienced significant injury and loss of use. I request NHTSA’s review and tracking of this defect for other potential affected vehicles.

After having my vehicle in for service, 64000 mile maintenance, new front brakes and rotors, and new air struts, at Jaguar Land Rover Raleigh, I was inspecting the completed work after driving the vehicle home and noticed a large crack in the front left steering knuckle where it connects to the upper control arm. I immediately called to have the vehicle towed to the shop. If that component had failed while driving the result could have been catastrophic at highway speed. I could have lost control of steering and the wheel could have completely come off causing significant damage and endangering the life of myself and children. This specific component has been recalled by Jaguar Land Rover in both the United Kingdom and Canada for defective parts susceptible to failing. The recall is specifically for MY 15 and 16 Range Rovers. I suspect that this issue may be more prevalent than the VINs covered. The vehicle has been inspected at the dealership and they have not noted that failure modality. There were no other symptoms, faults or warning messages. I am glad I did a thorough visual inspection to cease driving the vehicle immediately.
The following were sent to JLR for comment - this is a documented safety issue and the fact that they have not made this a recall in the US is appalling - please force their hand. To whom it may concern: Please pass this email to the appropriate person and have them contact me so we can have an intelligent conversation regarding why the exact issue my vehicle is experiencing is recalled in the UK and Canada, but not in the US. This is a well documented failure that JLR is clearly aware of as stated in the attached N759 recall. My vehicle, VIN: [XXX] , is currently at Ray Catena Jaguar of Marlboro for replacement of a cracked steering knuckle, image attached, that JLR is refusing to cover. JLR's liability in this case is black and white. Please call or email at your earliest convenience. [XXX] Best - [XXX] 2nd email: Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss further. An image of my failure and the UK recall notice are attached for reference just in case they did not make it through to you from my initial email. Nobody at the dealership will discuss openly what is clearly a dangerous manufacturer's defect that has already been recognized and addressed in other countries. I encourage you to simply google "L405 knuckle failure" - this is not an isolated incident and a failure at speed could be absolutely catastrophic. I have an aftermarket warranty that thankfully covered most of the cost to replace the cracked knuckle, but they would not replace the driver side as it has not yet cracked. I currently had to pay the following expenses out of pocket to address this issue: $503.66 - balance after 3rd party warranty coverage $382.17 - rental car while car was at dealer for repair INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Car has been babied all its life but I recently started hear creaking and popping noises from front of car. Took it to my local shop as I have extended warranty and they looked and inspected and found that the car has a crack in the steering knuckle and said it is not safe to drive. After we all did some research it looks like most 2014-17 Range rovers like mine had a recall for this problem exactly. Only issue is after calling Land Rover they said my car never had a recall outstanding. Obviously my car is affected. Please advise. The recall number that my vehicle should be eligible for is Safety recall - N759 (Front Knuckle Cracking). I am glad we caught this as my family and Is life could have been in danger if the event of a full failure.
Right-hand (passenger) front steering knuckle cracked while turning in reverse. Not at speed and while parking, so was not a catastrophic failure. However, if had happened on the highway would have been. This exact issue, recorded as a defect in the part, covering the same VIN range as my vehicle is recalled in both the UK and Canada, but not in the US. (LR Recall # N759) This could have been fatal at highway speeds.
I was made aware of a potential issue with my vehicles steering knuckle breaking where it connects to the upper control arm. I was also informed that Land Rover has done a recall in the UK for this same issue. I checked my vehicle and it does indeed hav a crack in the steering knuckle. This could have caused a catastrophic issue if it had broken completely at any road speed. This needs to be evaluated as soon as possible, before anyone dies.
The contact owns a 2015 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V840000 (STEERING); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that while accelerating from a stop light and driving approximately 15 MPH, the driver’s side wheel collapsed rendering the vehicle undrivable. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the front driver’s side suspension knuckle had detached from the suspension arm. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 54,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
The vehicle has significant cracks in both front end knuckles. This appears to be an issue in 2014-2016 L405 models. Both the Canadian and UK authorities have issued recalls for this issue. Fortunately I discovered this issue before complete failure as I came across a video highlighting this issue on YouTube. The channel is called ‘LR Time’. The vehicle had been in for a state inspection and suspension work twice in the last two months and the JLR dealership failed to identify the issue either time
During my last emissions check I was alerted of a potential recall on my vehicle. When I took the car in for a routing maintenence schedule, I was told that my vehicle was indeed affected with this recall issue. I have since then contacted my local dealer but was told to wait for a updated notification since parts where unavailable. I still have not heard of any news and I don't feel comfortable driving it with this issue. Please correct the issue at least for those vehicles affected now.
The right front suspension knuckle cracked and separated from the upper control arm and when the knuckle cracked it damaged the right front axle, right front strut and height sensor. Bear Valley Service (Land Rover specialists) replaced the right front suspension, knuckle, control arm, axle, air spring and height sensor. Fortunately it happened while backing out of my driveway/turning into the street and not while I was driving on the interstate, it could’ve been catastrophic. Also fortunate that it didn’t happen the night before while driving on the interstate. The vehicle was not inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance company. I found out about the NHTSA Recall Number 24V-840 on 12/11/24 so I took my 2015 Range Rover to Land Rover in Atlanta, GA that day. They did not inspect the vehicle, they stated they were waiting on more information regarding the recall. No warnings whatsoever.
My 2015 range rover had a catastrophic failure of the driver side steering knuckle while underway. This caused me to lose control of the vehicle and the wheel almost fell off the car. Fortunately, I was going less than 30 mph. The failure was caused by the regular application of brakes approaching an intersection. Without the support of the steering knuckle the wheel has no support and the steering and braking are compromised. The vehicle is currently at the landrover dealership in Bedford NH and has been inspected and the repair is estimated to cost 7900. An additional 3000 to replace the passenger side steering knuckle as well. There were no warning lamps or signs of the failure prior to the incident. The car has very low mileage for age and is exceptionally well maintained. Upon further investigation I discovered that hundreds of owners around the world and in the USA have experienced the same random failure on their 2015 model Range Rover. Both Landrover Canada and Land rover UK have issued safety recalls(N759 recall number) for the same year and model of my vehicle. Land Rover USA has not issued a recall and I think this is a major safety issue for this vehicle. The NHTSA should look into this. Clearly there was a bad batch of parts in the 2015 year and they have subsequently redesigned the parts. I've uploaded a couple of example letters for the international recalls. Yes the part is available for inspection or you can google it and see 100s of similar failures.
AS I WAS BACKING OUT MY DRIVEWAY I HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE AND THEN NOTICED THAT MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE HAS COLLAPSED MAKING THE CAR UN-DRIVEABLE. HAD I BEEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A DANGEROUS LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THERE I WAS TOLD THAT RANGE ROVER IN CANADA AND THE UK HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME MALFUNCTION. MY RANGE ROVER HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICE BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND WAS AT LOW MILEAGE FOR THE YEAR OF THE CAR. NEVER HAD ANYONE WHO INSPECTED OR DID WORK ON THE CAR SAW ANY EVIDENCE THAT SOMETHING WAS READY TO BREAK. IT HAS SINCE BEEN REPAIRED AT A COST OF $8031.68. I REPORTED TO LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA THEY HAVE DECLINED TO RECOGNIZE ANY FAULT ON THEIR END AND DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE FOR THE REPAIR WHEN THEY HAVE SEEN THIS IN OTHER COUNTRIES ON MY SAME MODEL AND YEAR. HERE IS THE CANADIAN RECALL #N759 FOR STEERING KNUCKLE COLLAPSED.
