2019 Land Rover Range Rover SportRecalls, problems, MPG & safety

“The car experienced a complete electrical failure. Exactly like the recall D126 warns about. This engineering fix is taking too long. They should simply replace the DC/DC converter. I was stuck in the middle of the intersection and had to have my car towed, battery replaced. They are slow playing this problem to avoid having to pay for repairs.”

“Safety Complaint Regarding Engine Oil Leak – Same Defect as Recall N763 (23V044000) Vehicle: 2019 Range Rover Sport | VIN: [XXX] Description of Problem: My vehicle is experiencing an oil leak from the engine area. Upon inspection by my mechanic/dealer, the failure was diagnosed as a blocked or improperly machined oil channel in the engine cam carrier, which is causing oil to leak externally. This is the exact component and failure mode described in Land Rover Safety Recall N763 (NHTSA Campaign 23V044000), which addresses a blocked engine cam carrier oil channel that can lead to an oil leak. Despite having the identical part failure on my vehicle, my VIN is not listed under the current recall scope. Safety Concern: I am extremely concerned about the fire risk. An oil leak in the presence of hot engine components or an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

I believe the recall population should be expanded to include my vehicle, as the defect clearly exists outside the current VIN range. Actions Taken: I contacted a Land Rover dealer, but they refused to…”

“Date of Incident: 10/08/2026 Component Affected: SUSPENSION:FRONT:STEERING KNUCKLE / AXLE HUB Complaint Description: The vehicle suffered a catastrophic, sudden structural failure of the front passenger-side suspension assembly while moving at low speed out of a residential driveway on October 8, 2026. Without any prior impact or warning, the front suspension completely separated, causing the front wheel assembly to detach entirely from the vehicle. The vehicle collapsed to the ground, tearing out the front CV axle and breaking vital brake fluid lines. Initial physical inspection shows the aluminum steering knuckle (spindle) completely fractured and split open at the upper ball joint seating, allowing the wheel assembly to break free from the control arms. This represents an extreme, life-threatening manufacturing safety defect. Had this component failed at highway speeds, total loss of steering control and a fatal crash would have occurred. The vehicle has 78,690 miles and has no history of structural accidents or suspension modifications. The manufacturer (Jaguar Land Rover) has previously issued a safety campaign (N759) for cracked steering knuckles on…”
