“The contact’s daughter owns a 2015 Land Rover LR2. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, she became aware of an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle. Additionally, after refueling the vehicle, the following day the fuel tank and fuel level was noticeably lower than expected. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel tank outlet flange was leaking. The contact was informed that the fuel tank outlet flange needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 112,900.”

“The contact owns a 2015 Land Rover LR2. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the vehicle emitted abnormal loud ratting sounds. The contact was able to drive the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure occurred intermittently. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred increasingly. The warning message "Service" was displayed intermittently. Additionally, the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where an unknown sensor was replaced; however, the failure persisted and the vehicle stalled while driving. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was pushed to the side of the roadway. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be rebuilt or replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the independent mechanic that it was a known failure. The manufacturer opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.”

“I PURCHASED THE CAR JULY 11TH 2020, THE CONPANY STATED IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE, ONCE I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT & TOOK IT TO LAND ROVER THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT ALL, AND THE ENTIRE CHASSIE IS BASICALLY DESTROYED, THEIR ARE NO WHEEL BARRINGS, AND I NEED FRONT AND REAR DIFFERENTIALS. ALSO METAL SCRAPINGS FROM THE REAR BARRINGS WAS GETTING INTO THE OIL PAN. THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM IS REFUSING TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE A 30 DAY WARRANTY.”

“REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND REAR WHEEL BEARING FAILURE. SEVERE GRINDING NOISE FROM REAR END”

“FOR ABOUT A MONTH A WARNING LIGHT WAS ON WHENEVER I DROVE, INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS CONSTANTLY SWITCHED OFF. THIS MEANS THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAGS AND PERHAPS ALL OF MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT FUNCTION IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A SENSOR ISSUE AND SUGGESTED THAT I PAY $2,000 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR BENEATH THE PASSENGER SEAT (A REPAIR THAT WOULD NOT HAVE RESOLVED THE UNDERLYING ISSUE ACCORDING TO THE MECHANICS WHO LATER EXAMINED MY VEHICLE). AFTER READING ABOUT THE LR2 RECALL RELATED TO THE AIRBAG LIGHT, I ASKED IF MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID NO. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER SHOP TO GET A SECOND OPINION. I JUST MENTIONED THE LIGHT AND NOT ANYTHING RELATED TO THE RECALL BEFORE THEY LOOKED AT IT. AFTER EXTENSIVE TESTING, THEY FOUND THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE, UO154-00, APPEARED AND TOLD ME THAT THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD RESOLVE THE ISSUE FREE OF CHARGE SINCE IT IS THE EXACT PROBLEM ENCOMPASSED BY THE RECALL (CAMPAIGN #14V395000). I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT MY VEN # IS OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF THE RECALL SO I AM UNSURE OF HOW TO PROCEED.”
