I am filing this complaint to formally report two separate incidents of dcdc converter failure in my Land Rover Range Rover Sport — the identical defect described in NHTSA safety recall 26v248 — and to request that NHTSA investigate why my vehicle has been excluded from that recall despite exhibiting the same failure mode. Incident 1 – [xxx] while driving, my vehicle displayed a red “stop safely electrical fault detected” warning message and subsequently lost motive power, coasting to a stop in bellevue, wa. I was unable to safely move the vehicle out of active traffic. I called 911 and emergency responders were dispatched to block the lane behind my vehicle to prevent a collision. The vehicle was towed to Jaguar Land Rover bellevue, an authorized Land Rover dealership, where the dcdc converter was diagnosed as the cause of failure. Repair documentation is on file. Incident 2 – [xxx] the same failure recurred. My vehicle again displayed the “stop safely electrical fault detected” warning and lost motive power while in motion in chicago, IL. The vehicle was towed a second time to Jaguar Land Rover chicago, where the same dcdc converter defect was documented and addressed. Repair documentation is on file. In both incidents, my vehicle came to a stop in an active traffic lane with no ability to self-recover, creating a direct risk of a rear-end collision that could have seriously injured or killed me, my family, and other road users. When I check my VIN against the recall, my vehicle does not appear as an included unit. I have received no owner notification letter from jlr despite the recall report stating owner notifications were planned for on or before June 12, 2026. I am requesting that NHTSA determine whether my vehicle meets that criteria and was incorrectly excluded, or whether the recall population should be expanded. I have attached dealership repair orders and diagnostic reports from both incidents confirming dcdc issue. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 5.
Here's an improved version: --- while driving on m59, the main screen turned off unexpectedly. I exited the main road and pulled into a strip mall outside a costco. The vehicle then completely stopped and shut down. The hazard lights were not functioning, and I couldn't restart the vehicle. After waiting for 5 minutes outside the car, I got back in and called the local dealer, Land Rover of troy, michigan. While on the phone, the car suddenly turned back on as they were answering. This incident happened yesterday, and I want to ensure there's a record of it because it was extremely dangerous. ---.
