“Vehicle: 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport VIN: [XXX] Issue: A safety recall repair previously performed on my vehicle has failed, recreating the original safety hazard the recall was intended to fix. Details: My vehicle was subject to a recall involving [rear spoiler detachment risk]. The recall repair was “performed “ without proof by Land Rover of Cincinnati in Aug 2023. As of April 2025, the same issue has reoccurred. Specifically: The spoiler detached while driving on interstate 75. (This spoiler never detached before they “fixed” it. - This created a serious safety hazard coming undone in the highway. It actually got a semi trucks front number as he crushed over it..,the semi driver did not stop to report it though. Concern: This indicates the recall remedy may have been improperly performed or is ineffective. I am being told I must pay out of pocket $6500 to fix an issue that should have been resolved under a federally mandated safety recall. Request: I am requesting investigation into: 1) Whether the recall repair procedure is adequate 2) Whether this repair was properly completed 3) Whether other vehicles may be affected by failed recall remedies…”

“I have tried making multiple appointments at the dealership in mobile alabama to get this recall taken care of after 2 attempts I took it to the Nashville dealership. The first attempt in mobile I called before driving over an hour away to the appointment and they didn't have the appointment on there schedule when I had scheduled over a month in advance and the second time I called and they did not having parts in stock even though I made an appointment. I took it to Nashville dropped it off for 5 days while visiting when I came back the recall for the fuel tank still had not been done nor was I notified as to why. They did another recall and it was supposed to be finished by 8am the day I picked it up I wasn't able to leave the dealership until around 3pm due to their negligence and miscommunication still without the recall I brought it in for completed. Now there is a fuel smell and I now have tried making an appointment again with the mobile alabama dealership and they want me to leave it there for days to be completed and suggested I rent a car because they cannot loan a vehicle when this recall is only supposed to take a day.”
