general problems of the 2012 Land Rover LR4

I am writing to formally request a review of my vehicle for inclusion in NHTSA recall 21v-635, issued may 11, 2022, concerning fuel leaks at the fuel tank flange assembly. My vehicle is a 2012 Land Rover Lr4, VIN [xxx] . Although my local Land Rover dealer has informed me that my VIN is not currently included in the recall population, my vehicle is experiencing the exact condition described in the recall notice — a fuel leak originating from the fuel outlet flange mounted on the fuel tank. The recall letter for 21v-635 states that all Land Rover Lr4 vehicles model years 2010–2016 are included. My vehicle falls squarely within that model year range. Given this, and the fact that my vehicle is exhibiting the precise defect identified in the recall, I am concerned that my VIN may have been inadvertently excluded from the recall population. This issue presents a serious safety concern due to the risk of fire associated with fuel leakage. The symptoms and failure location match the recall description. I respectfully request that NHTSA review my case to determine whether: my VIN was mistakenly omitted from the recall population, or the recall population should be expanded or corrected to include my vehicle. I am prepared to provide photographs, repair estimates, diagnostic reports, or inspection documentation confirming the fuel leak at the flange assembly upon request. Because this defect involves fuel leakage and a significant potential fire hazard, I believe it warrants careful review to ensure all similarly affected vehicles are properly covered. Thank you for your time and consideration. I appreciate your assistance in reviewing this matter and advising me on the appropriate next steps.

My car has a strong gasoline odor when I drive it as well as when I turn it off and park it. However, especially when parking. In addition, after refueling, the fuel gauge lags for a few minutes in terms of fuel level. As a result of these events, I searched online for vehicle recalls and came across the information on your page. As you suggested, I contacted the authorized Land Rover dealer. After multiple communications and several attempts to schedule an appointment to address the issue, they inform me that they do not currently have the parts in stock to address the issue that the vehicle presents. At the same time, they tell me that if I want to fix it as soon as possible, I must pay for the service and that they will reimburse me once they receive the "recall letter. " I am currently awaiting information on the cost of the service, but I am doubtful of the dealer's explanation. I'd like to confirm with the NHTSA that this is the correct procedure. My current concern is that the high temperatures will result in a fire caused by a gasoline leak.

Strong fuel smell detected when vehicle is garaged. Smell fills garage. No evident visible leak. Smell isolated to the Lr4.

Started to notice a raw gas smell after driving or just start the car. I looked for gas leak but didn't find any. Brought the car to the dealership. And the service assistant said it was the fuel gasket. She also informed me that it is a very common problem. And sure enough it was the dust cover and gasket as she predicted. I feel that this is a safety issue that seems to be very common with this vehicle .
