Per a factory recall — ntsb has ordered the following recall; manufacturer recall number d027 NHTSA recall number 25v-514 recall status recall incomplete, remedy not yet available summary a concern has been identified on certain 2014 and all 2015 to 2017 modelyear Range Rover (l405) and Range Rover sport (l494) vehicles where thefront suspension upper knuckle joint could develop a crack. In extremecases this may lead to detachment of the upper suspension arm. Safety risk in extreme cases where a crack in the front suspension knuckle has developed, this may lead to detachment of the upper suspension arm, which under extreme avoidance maneuver use conditions may compromise the vehicle's controllability and increase the risk of a crash. This has been identified by independent mechanics as well, as a severe safety concern. When this vehicle was taken to hennessy Land Rover of north atlanta; they advised me that “they didn’t have parts for the recall”. Although they explained to me if I paid out of pocket for the work they had the parts to do the task. Service advisor is peter alvarez. So they don’t have the parts for an ntsb recall? unless I have $6000/$7000 for a recall with a “severe safety risk”? this is absolutely incredible. These people sell $120,000 trucks and then refuse to undertake government mandated recalls. Their excuse is “we have the parts but only if you buy them”. This is totally unacceptable. I have a wife and a small child who ride in this SUV and have owned the car for 7 of its 9 years on the road. Always immaculately maintained if hennessy Land Rover (north atlanta) refuses to perform government mandated recalls they should not be doing business. Especially with “severe safety risk— I sat for four hours for them to come out and tell me this — this is my sixth Range Rover. If this is not remedied never again.

Gas tank shield has rotted due to galvanic corrosion as the fuel tank shield is bolted onto an aluminum heat shield. The pairing of these two different metals has caused the shield to become unstable and is part of holding the gas tank itself in place. Extremely unsafe.
While driving, my husband noticed a clunking or knocking noise coming from the front of the vehicle. He contacted the dealership in September and was told they were experiencing a system outage and could not assist us at that time. We continued to drive the vehicle, and soon after, the steering began to feel loose and started pulling to one side. While I was driving, the car suddenly jerked sharply, and I temporarily lost control of the steering. The vehicle felt increasingly unstable and unsafe to drive. Eventually, the car completely shut off while I was driving on the interstate.
Original coolant manifolds, two piece vehicle was inspected by service tech at north atlanta Land Rover in alpharetta GA on June 2, 2025. Vehicle was then inspected for a second opinion at bear valley service llc on June 10, 2025. Findings were consistent and I was advised to repair this two piece manifold system and its components before it failed causing catastrophic failure to the vehicle. Said repair was complete June 11, 2025. Safety to myself and potential passenger would be potential for vehicle to fail causing an accident, engine failure, steering issues, etc. This similar problem has been reported to Land Rover numerous times. Land rover has not issued a recall although they acknowledge (per both techs) that this two piece manifold system is prone to splitting and cracking. Land rover has sub sequentially changed and now installs one piece manifold systems to eliminate the prior problem. I had to pay for the replacement of this system regardless that Land Rover is completely aware this is a design or manufactured defect that was installed in my vehicle when it was built. I should not have to bear the financial burden to replace parts that the dealer and manufacturer have acknowledged cause catastrophic problems. The manifold issue was discovered by the dealership mentioned above and they recommended immediate replacement to avoid catastrophic failure. ($5116. 30) I took the vehicle to another Range Rover authorized repair shop for a second opinion and they made the same recommendation. Based on that second opinion, I proceeded to have the two piece replaced by the one piece system to prevent catastrophic failure. I can provided the invoice listing labor and all associated replacement parts that were installed. This is a Land Rover issue and I believe they should pay the entire amount due to the fact they acknowledge the failure of these parts yet have no intention to do so.
While driving on highway (interstate 87), traveling about 2 hours into my drive with my 8 year old daughter and family dog at a speed of 65 mph, the vehicle's system went into failure mode and stated "diesel particular filter full" with no prior warning of this. Vehicle had some loss of power then followed by "limp" mode which then was extreme loss of power. Vehicle system failed and did not issue prior warning of "regeneration" of diesel particular filter. Vehicle had been serviced several times for def fluid light, diesel sensor issues, and also failed nys inspection on it's first annual inspection in February 2019. I also had it repaired since fuel tank went to "empty" while driving. Vehicle is unsafe and Jaguar Land Rover should acknowledge there are major issues with the safety of these vehicles. We were originally sold another diesel Range Rover through same dealer (mount kisco) but that vehicle could not pass nys inspection as well. We were asked to drive it for a couple of hundred miles and bring it back for inspection but it kept failing and were then sold this one.
****note - missing VIN and model year**** my friend is in intensive care at the hospital and has been declared brain dead. As she was getting out of her car, her car rolled over on her in reverse crushing her heart and cutting off circulation to her brain. The rotary shift knob she believed to be in park must have been in reverse or must have malfunctioned. She is 41 and leaves behind two young daughters. Please investigate into these rotary shift knobs which need to be outlawed!!! ## VIN failed ## Range Rover ##.
