The manufacturer referred the contact to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.

Fuel tank cradle/support is rusted and might cause fuel tank to fall.

The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that the suspension warning lights were intermittently flashing. The contact was notified about NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V514000 (Steering); during a State Inspection. The local dealer was contacted and confirmed that parts were on backorder. The contact called two other dealers, Land Rover Dublin (5775 Venture Dr Ste B, Dublin, OH 43017), and Land Rover Easton (3867 Morse Rd Suite L, Columbus, OH 43219). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 163,000.

The fuel tank shields are disintegrating due to rust buildup because of poor quality materials. this is a very concerning issue since on these Range Rovers the fuel tank shields actually support the fuel tank. my biggest concern would be for the fuel tank to eject itself and cause a major incident. Range Rover is aware of this situation as it is happening on a lot of these models.

On 17th of January, 2026, the backseat door, behind Driver's seat, failed and continues to fail to close and/or latch shut due to door/keyless latching mechanism/system. On January 17, 2026 backseat door, behind Driver's seat, swung open twice while driving and would not latch or shut close. Backseat door, behind Driver's seat, continues to fail to close or latch shut securely. Only warning of this was the lights turning on in the vehicle during the event. Upon returning home and looking up online what could be the cause and how to remedy I found Land Rover Recall P068, which states: NOTIFICATION OF SAFETY RECALL P068: VEHICLE DOOR MAY NOT LATCH, SERVICE BULLETIN. 16-JUN-15 NO.: SRE15-12 SECTION: RECALL MARKET: USA: A concern has been identified on 2014-2016 model year Range Rover Sport (L494) and 2013-2016 model year Range Rover (L405) vehicles where customers have reported the door is unlatched when in the closed position and no indication provided of a of an unlatched condition. Some customers have reported that one door has opened while the vehicle was in motion. No notification was ever received for this recall. I contacted the Van Nuys Land Rover dealership that same week and was informed they would not remedy and no recall existed.

I am filing a complaint regarding an unresolved safety recall affecting my 2016 Range Rover Sport TDV6, VIN: [XXX] . This vehicle is subject to Recall D019 (NHTSA Recall 25V-514). Despite the recall being issued, I have contacted the dealership multiple times and have repeatedly been told that the remedy or required parts are not yet available. There has been no clear timeline provided for when the repair will be available. Both the front and rear components associated with this recall on my vehicle appear visibly defective and concerning. This creates a significant safety concern for me as the operator of the vehicle. I rely on this vehicle daily and should not be forced to continue driving a vehicle with known defective safety-related components while waiting indefinitely for the manufacturer to supply parts. A safety recall should include a prompt and effective remedy. The ongoing delay in making repair parts available places vehicle owners and the public at risk and undermines the purpose of issuing a safety recall. I respectfully request that this matter be investigated and that the manufacturer be required to provide a timely repair remedy. Owners should not be left operating vehicles with known safety defects due to delays in recall implementation.

My car is swerving and uncontrollable upon accelerating and feels very unstable when taking turns.

The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V514000 (STEERING); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, an abnormal sound was coming from the vehicle while turning to the left or the right. In addition, the vehicle was vibrating abnormally. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was unknown.

The Diesel Exhaust Fluid system on my 2016 Range Rover Sport has a recurring defect that triggers the warning “Incorrect Diesel Exhaust Fluid Quality Detected” followed by a “No engine starts in XX miles” countdown. This defect has happened repeatedly over several years despite multiple repairs including injector replacement, injector housing replacement and eventually a complete DEF tank assembly replacement. The failure always returns. This defect disables the vehicle and creates a safety risk because the car will eventually refuse to start, which can leave the driver stranded without warning. The problem appeared again this month, and the vehicle displayed the countdown message even though only OEM DEF fluid was used. Land Rover’s own internal service bulletins describe this issue, but dealerships have been unable to permanently repair it. I was instructed by Land Rover corporate to bring the vehicle in for a goodwill review, but instead I was told I would need to pay for diagnostics, and corporate later stated they would not cover repairs at all. A respected independent garage reviewed my service records and told me the dealership should have performed a BlueDEF regeneration procedure. They also told me this is a known and continuous problem on these vehicles and that it will never go away without a redesigned system. This is a long-standing emissions-related defect that repeatedly renders the vehicle non-operational and forces owners into unsafe situations. There is no permanent fix available through the manufacturer or dealers. I am submitting this complaint because this defect is widespread on Land Rover diesel models and carries clear safety and reliability consequences.

Please see attachment: Dear Mr. [XXX] , Mr. [XXX] , and Federal & State Officials, This email serves as formal legal notice, final demand, and a request for immediate investigation into Jaguar Land Rover North America’s ongoing failure to perform a federally mandated safety recall (NHTSA Recall No. 25V-514, Manufacturer D019) affecting my 2016 Range Rover Sport (VIN ????????????). My authorized Connecticut dealer confirmed that the required parts for the recall are available; however, repairs cannot be scheduled or processed because of Jaguar Land Rover’s corporate system outage following the September 2025 cyber-incident. Jaguar Land Rover publicly acknowledged that it “proactively shut down systems” and that “parts logistics and digital operations were disrupted.” This means the recall failure is not due to part shortages or dealer error it stems directly from the manufacturer’s own IT breach. Because of this failure, my family including my three children continues to use a vehicle known to have a critical suspension defect capable of causing sudden loss of control. Allowing such vehicles to remain unrepaired for months due to internal corporate negligence represents reckless endangerment, breach of warranty, and violation of federal safety law. I am therefore requesting: 1. Immediate federal and state investigation into Jaguar Land Rover North America’s handling of Recall #25V-514 and the extent to which the September 2025 cyberincident has compromised safety-repair operations; 2. Immediate interim remedy, such as a courtesy or replacement vehicle of equal or greater value until the recall is completed; and 3. Written confirmation from Jaguar Land Rover within five (5) business days (by November 6, 2025) detailing the company’s plan to restore system functionality and perform all outstanding safety recalls. Please be advised that failure to act will result in escalation to: NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) for a formal enforcement review; U.S. DOT Office of Inspector General (OIG) for oversight o

Unacceptable response by Land Rover to remedy a serious safety recall identified and communicated in late July/early August 2025 in a timely manner! Multiple and contradictory explanations and excuses for the lack of solution and mitigation by both the local dealership as well as the national Land Rover North America corporate representatives. Additional confusion and lack of response is related to similar but separate suspension knuckle recall identifiers: D019 vs N759. Further, the company is not offering any other consideration in the face of the delay other than don't drive or "drive at your own risk"!
