UK DVSARange Rover (L405) Front Suspension Knuckle Crack – Incorrect Repair
Risk: For affected vehicles the repair procedure for a prior safety recall was incorrect. As a result the front suspension knuckles have been replaced with those of an incorrect specification.
Fix: Vehicles will have both front suspension knuckles replaced.
UK DVSASecurity Guidance
Risk: Jaguar Land Rover in conjunction with law enforcement and insurance bodies is aware of the increase in thefts of vehicles in specific geographical locations within the United Kingdom. there is no fault with Jaguar Land Rover's security systems and they continue to meet stringent automotive legislation. Jaguar Land Rover is offering owners guidance on how to maximise vehicle security and protect against theft.
Fix: Vehicle registered keepers will be sent a security guidance letter only - there is no repair action.
UK DVSASecurity Enhancement
Risk: For affected vehicles the manufacturer has developed a software enhancement to further increase vehicle security.
Fix: The software enhancement will deploy this update and reduce the theft risk.
UK DVSAOn affected vehicles there is a risk where the water pump pully drive belt can become damaged leading to detachment or destruction.On affected vehicles there is a risk where the water pump pully drive belt can become damaged leading to detachment or destruction. Where water pump pully drive is lost this leads to a loss coolant flow in the engine.
Risk: On affected vehicles there is a risk where the water pump pully drive belt can become damaged leading to detachment or destruction. Where water pump pully drive is lost this leads to a loss coolant flow in the engine.
Fix: Affected vehicles will have the engine coolant elbow replaced. In addition a turbocharger feed coolant pipe will be replaced.
UK DVSAThe directional indicators fail to operate when the steering column mounted control stalks are used
Risk: The directional indicators may fail to operate.
Fix: Update the vehicle with the latest software on affected vehicles.
UK DVSAAutonomous emergency braking feature will not be available
Risk: Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) feature will not be available.
Fix: On affected vehicles download the latest software to the vehicle.
UK DVSAFuel gauge displays an inaccurate reading
Risk: On certain 2018 and 2019 Model Year Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport PHEV vehicles where the indicated fuel level on the fuel gauge shows approximately 30% the fuel tank is empty resulting in an engine stall. The vehicle will enter into reduced performance mode and if the customer continues to drive the vehicle will continue to run for circa 8 miles/13Km. The vehicle engine will then cut out without warning. If the traction battery charge status is at least 10% or greater the electric motor will take up drive until such time as traction battery power is depleted. Where the traction battery charge status is below 10% drive from the electric motor is not possible and the vehicle will cut out whilst in motion. All 12 volt powered electrical functions such as power assisted steering exterior lighting and brake assistance will continue to operate as designed. Engine cut out with minimal warning to the driver may lead to an increased risk of an accident.
Fix: Fit a new revised fuel level sensor float to the vehicle.
UK DVSAFuel may leak
Risk: The brazing of the fuel rail end caps is inconsistent and may not correctly seal the fuel rail ends. Fuel vapour and liquid fuel leaks can occur over time. This can lead to a liquid fuel leak into the engine bay.
Fix: On affected vehicles replace the fuel rail with a correctly manufactured version.
UK DVSAInstrument cluster may intermittently go blank
Risk: Due to a software issue the Instrument cluster may intermittently go blank.
Fix: Affected vehicles will be recalled to have the latest software installed/downloaded.
UK DVSAPassengr seat belt locking retractor may not function correctly
Risk: The Emergency Locking Retractor in the front passenger safety belt assembly may not function correctly. The Emergency Locking Retractors are equipped with a vehicle-sensitive locking mechanism and a webbing-sensitive locking mechanism. The vehicle-sensitive locking mechanism may not lock as designed. In the event of a pre-crash brake event where the passenger airbag deploys front passenger seat forward facing child seat occupants may sustain more severe injuries.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the left hand front seat belt assembly.
UK DVSAFront passenger airbag may not deploy
Risk: The front passenger airbag may not function properly due to a deviation in generant mix ratio. In the event of a crash of sufficient severity the front passenger airbag may not deploy when required. Failure to deploy can lead to increased injuries to the passenger seat occupant.
Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the front passenger airbag.
UK DVSASeat belt pretensioner may not deploy
Risk: It has been identified by the seat belt Pre-Tensioner manufacturer that the pre-tensioner initiator generant mix ratio does not meet specification. This can therefore result in the initiator not functioning correctly which can lead to none activation of the pre-tensioner.
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to check the pre-tentioner and if required replace it with a new quality assured component.
UK DVSAFront passenger airbag may not deploy
Risk: It has been identified by the air-bag manufacturer that the air-bag initiator generant mix ratio does not meet specification. This can therefore result in the initiator not functioning correctly which can lead to non-deployment of the air-bag. Should a collision occur then there is an increased risk of injury to the passenger.
Fix: Recall all affected vehicles to replace the air-bag with a new quality assured component.

I took my Range Rover in for a recall issue and was told my fuel tank shield is corroded and failing. This is a very serious issue and seems to be a recurring problem due to galvanic corrosion from reaction of steel and aluminum contact. It isn't an easy, or cost effective fix due to having to remove several exhaust and drive components, before the fuel tank shield can be removed and replaced.

How ever with out the recall being fixed this vehicle is useless and unsafe. How long is it resonance to wait for a remedy. Over a year is far too long something needs to be done.
