“On July 27, 2026, while driving westbound on SR-62, the vehicle unexpectedly moved laterally and collided with the left-rear area of a commercial tractor-trailer. In the days before the crash, I recall hearing a knocking noise from the front and experiencing the vehicle pulling, but I did not understand these as signs of a safety defect. After the crash, the right-front upper suspension/steering-knuckle connection was catastrophically separated and displaced, the wheel and hub were out of their normal position, and the vehicle was not drivable. Photographs and videos preserve the post-crash condition. The vehicle was subject to an unrepaired JLR D041/NHTSA 25V-514 safety recall for cracking of the front suspension upper knuckle joint. The recalled defect can cause the upper suspension arm to detach, compromise vehicle controllability, and increase the risk of a crash. The same failure mechanism is under NHTSA Engineering Analysis EA26003. The police report attributed the vehicle’s movement toward the adjacent lane to an unsafe lane change. However, no component-level mechanical inspection was performed, and the recalled steering-knuckle condition was not…”

“The subject vehicle is a 2016 Range Rover and is my daily driver. The vehicle has a carbon steel fuel tank cradle (P/N - LR071011) that has a common failure of the steel cradle that is the only component that holds the fuel tank in place. When the fuel tank cradle corrosion is significant the fuel tank is no longer secured to the vehicle body and the fuel tank can otherwise shift or drop away from the vehicle. The fuel tank cradle on my vehicle is completely corroded through and missing most of the structure necessary to hold the fuel tank in place (see pictures attached). I can physically move the fuel tank by hand and have now used ratchet straps to temporarily hold the fuel tank in place. Land Rover knows this issue is a serious safety concern but has provided no recall to remedy the problem. The dealer wants more than $3500 to replace the fuel cradle. I believe this repair should be provided on a expedited basis by Land Rover free of charge to the vehicle owner. I am available to discuss this matter in person or over the phone, I request NHTSA support to help remedy this problem. Sincerely and Thank you,”

“Component Failed & Availability: The high-pressure fuel system and the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) have failed. The vehicle is currently available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: The vehicle experiences severe heat-soak depressurization, causing unpredictable engine stalling, sudden loss of power, and violent pressure lag during hot starts and acceleration. This creates a severe crash hazard when attempting to enter or maneuver in traffic. Simultaneously, the primary airbag/restraint matrix is faulted, meaning occupants are unprotected if an accident occurs due to the stalling. Warning Lamps & Symptoms: The Check Engine Light is illuminated, actively displaying DTC P00C6-00 (Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low - Engine Cranking Bank 1). The SRS warning light is also continuously illuminated.”

“The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at an independent mechanic for an unrelated repair, the mechanic discovered that the underbody shield located underneath the vehicle to protect the fuel tank had deteriorated severely, exposing the fuel tank. The shield was the original part and functioned as a skid plate for the undercarriage; however, due to the corrosion, the fuel tank was no longer protected. The dealer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 103,000.”
