2015 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER Complaints

After having my vehicle in for service, 64000 mile maintenance, new front brakes and rotors, and new air struts, at Jaguar Land Rover Raleigh, I was inspecting the completed work after driving the vehicle home and noticed a large crack in the front left steering knuckle where it connects to the upper control arm. I immediately called to have the vehicle towed to the shop. If that component had failed while driving the result could have been catastrophic at highway speed. I could have lost control of steering and the wheel could have completely come off causing significant damage and endangering the life of myself and children. This specific component has been recalled by Jaguar Land Rover in both the United Kingdom and Canada for defective parts susceptible to failing. The recall is specifically for MY 15 and 16 Range Rovers. I suspect that this issue may be more prevalent than the VINs covered. The vehicle has been inspected at the dealership and they have not noted that failure modality. There were no other symptoms, faults or warning messages. I am glad I did a thorough visual inspection to cease driving the vehicle immediately.

Both the right and left suspension knuckles were cracked. This represented a potentially very dangerous situation if either knuckle had broken at high speed.

My car has manufacturer defect / crack on steering knuckle. There has been recall in UK and Canada. Why not in states? Driving with crack / defect in steering knuckle is extremely dangerous. It has been proven that this has caused by over tightening the nut bolt. There are so many land rovers have this reported issues.

Car has been babied all its life but I recently started hear creaking and popping noises from front of car. Took it to my local shop as I have extended warranty and they looked and inspected and found that the car has a crack in the steering knuckle and said it is not safe to drive. After we all did some research it looks like most 2014-17 Range rovers like mine had a recall for this problem exactly. Only issue is after calling Land Rover they said my car never had a recall outstanding. Obviously my car is affected. Please advise. The recall number that my vehicle should be eligible for is Safety recall - N759 (Front Knuckle Cracking). I am glad we caught this as my family and Is life could have been in danger if the event of a full failure.

Right-hand (passenger) front steering knuckle cracked while turning in reverse. Not at speed and while parking, so was not a catastrophic failure. However, if had happened on the highway would have been. This exact issue, recorded as a defect in the part, covering the same VIN range as my vehicle is recalled in both the UK and Canada, but not in the US. (LR Recall # N759) This could have been fatal at highway speeds.

Gear shift stuck in park or will get stuck in reverse after turning car on. Have to turn on and off multiple times before gear shift starts working again

I was made aware of a potential issue with my vehicles steering knuckle breaking where it connects to the upper control arm. I was also informed that Land Rover has done a recall in the UK for this same issue. I checked my vehicle and it does indeed hav a crack in the steering knuckle. This could have caused a catastrophic issue if it had broken completely at any road speed. This needs to be evaluated as soon as possible, before anyone dies.
