Front wheel knuckle failure. I received an email last year on a recall for specific vins for this failure and my VIN does not apply within the specific years of 2014-2016. I have a 2014 l405 Land Rover and am very concerned of this failure. I would like this complaint filed and Land Rover to replace these knuckles before someone dies or is seriously injured.
We first received notice of the recall on December 18, 2024. The front right suspension knuckle joint was making a clicking noise for several weeks and has now cracked and detached the suspension arm on the front right wheel. Thus making my car completely unsafe to drive. The manufacturer gave me an unclear answers for an extended period of time. They have now confirmed that the part is on back order and unavailable to order and they don’t know when it will be available to order. At this point, I don’t feel safe driving my car. I need the manufacturer, Land Rover, to either buy back my vehicle or to give me a rental or loaner car for the foreseeable future, until they are able to repair my car or replace my car altogether. I live in woodland hills, CA and there are two dealerships in close proximity which are available to provide a solution for me. I am a mother and I have three small children. This is our family’s primary car for daily transportation for my children to and from school and all activities. It is imperative that this is addressed immediately.
It is becoming very apparent that the front, left and right steering knuckle on these cars are failing due to cracks forming and in some instances the wheel breaking free from the car. This is a death trap for the cars affected and Range Rover needs to step up in the u. S. , like they did in the uk and recall these and have them replaced. Thank you.
The front suspension knuckle has developed a significant crack at the top where a ball joint attaches. This crack will result in a catastrophic failure of the knuckle as has been experienced by many owners of this type of vehicle. . Read more...
I purchased my new veh in may of 2014. From that time until November, my veh drove/shifted smooth. I took my veh in for its 1st service on Nov. 25th, 2014 and at that time they performed a tcm software update. Since leaving with my veh, I noticed it drove completely different. It shifted hard, clunked into gear & no longer drives like a premium, new vehicle. I advised my service advisor scott a few days later. At that time he scheduled an apt to bring in & check it out. I arrived for my apt on Dec 16th, had the service advisor drive with me so I could show him what I was experiencing. The next day I received a phone call that my veh was "ready to be picked up". I asked "does that mean it is fixed?" he replied, "at this time, we & Land Rover are aware of your concern, but unfortunately, there is no remedy/fix at this time. " they told me they would contact me when there was a known fix/repair. I picked my veh up, & since then, it drives even worse. I explained to the service dept that even though they say it is "safe to drive", that I do no feel safe driving it. In the mornings, the shifts are so violent that I feel like I am doing further damage to my drivetrain/suspension components. I have reached out to Land Rover north America (rep: matt: 800. 452. 4827 ext. 1309020) several times, he states the same thing, "Land Rover is aware of the transmission problem, but there is no known fix at this time". In my opinion, this vehicle is classified as a "lemon" because I cannot operate it with my children in the car & feel safe, & the dealership/car manufacturer does not have a remedy/fix nor can they tell me when it will be available. (I have been dealing with this issue now for almost 2 months & think the time frame I have been patiently waiting for is more than reasonable, which is why I am proceeding now with further action). Thank you for your time!.
