2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

Defect. Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2010-2015 LR2 and 2012-2013 Range Rover Evoque vehicles. A component within the Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may fail, resulting in the front seat passenger air bag being totally or partially disabled.

Risk. In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, if the air bag is disabled, the air bag may not deploy or may not deploy properly, increasing the risk of injury to the front seat passenger.

Remedy. Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the Restraint Control Module software, free of charge. The recall began on August 30, 2014. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is P046.

While driving my 2013 Range Rover Evoque, the hood unexpectedly opened and flew upward, striking and shattering the windshield and significantly obstructing my visibility. I was able to bring the vehicle to a stop without colliding with another vehicle or object and was not injured. There were no warning lights or messages that I recall indicating that the hood was not properly secured before it opened. The cause of the hood opening is currently UNKNOWN and the vehicle has not yet been inspected to determine whether the hood latch or related mechanism failed. The vehicle and hood/latch components are being preserved for inspection. I subsequently learned that Land Rover has issued technical service information concerning hood-latch conditions on this model, including SSM72074 and SSM72738. I have requested that the hood, both hood latches, release mechanism/cable, alignment and related components be inspected and documented before repair or disposal.

The head lights arbitrarily go off on their own when driving. It doesn’t happened when going over something /bump in road. Turn lights back on & they go back off intermittently. It’s very dangerous driving at night to all of a sudden lights go off.

Car started to smell like gas. Had mechanic check and there is a fuel tank leak . No engine light appeared prior to having inspected.

While driving south on I-95 from Virginia into North Carolina, we experienced serious brake failure. The power brakes went out completely. The Evoque is almost 10 years old with about 95K miles, we bought it new and we've maintained it meticulously (new rear brakes installed late May, 2022). We had been driving in fairly heavy traffic for the first 200 miles of our trip, with plenty of stop & go, and no issues. When we decided to exit at the NC Welcome Center, my wife was driving and when she tried to break on the exit ramp, nothing happened! We were lucky no cars or pedestrians were in front of us, and lucky it was a long exit ramp. She kept her foot on the brake as hard as possible, and we gradually slowed to a manageable speed and parked. First I checked myself and sure enough the car wouldn't stop as soon as I put it in gear. Next I checked the brake fluid, which was full. I tried pumping the brakes, and everything else I could thing of but the brakes would not work at all. While waiting 3.5 hours for a tow truck, I did some research and learned that this issue of power assist failure in the 2012-2019 Evoque models has been under review by the NHTSA already. Our Evoque had a Virginia safety inspection in May 2022 when the new rear brakes were installed, and there were absolutely no warning lights or other indications of trouble or risk. This situation could have ended very seriously if we hadn't pulled over for a break. Now that I know this has happened with other Evoques

My car is parked in my single car garage. I go on vacation for 2 weeks. Car is not driven. I come home and I smell gas in my garage. I pull car out of garage and there ARE NO LEAKS ON GARAGE FLOOR. Car only has 39k miles on it. There are no Check Engine lights on.

The front bumper is cracking on the corners. Also found a forum where others are also experiencing this https://www.rangerovers.net/threads/front-bumper-cracked-no-impact.338578/

There is a gasoline leak which could be seen on the right rear underside of my vehicle (there is an exposed tank-like looking component saturated with gasoline) which can be easily ignited and cause a fire whether the car is running or parked. My vehicle is with the dealer at the moment being looked at. The dealer told me a flange connected to the fuel system and fuel pump was cracked (for no apparent reason, it just failed) which causes the leak. The dealer said this is a known problem on the range rover sport and LR4 models of certain year span and a recall is currently going on for those models BUT NOT on my model vehicle. I noticed smell of gasoline and saw the leak some time in January 2022. According to my research on NHTSA website there is another vehicle of this same model located in Apopka Florida with the same problem as mine. I am concerned that land rover may have used the same component or parts provider on the 2013 Evoque (for the flange and fuel pump) as they did for the range rover sport and LR4 models. Please look into this and hopefully any serious accident can be avoided.

Driving on the highway the passenger door opens.

The contact's granddaughter owns a 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The contact stated that while her granddaughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed that the turbocharger, intake, exhaust variable valve timing (VVT), timing chain, and all other supporting parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000. Consumer stated this time, dealer stated that Turbocharger, internal mechanical failure, intake and exhaust VVTs, Timing Chain, Guides, Tensioner and all other supporting parts (Intake VVT mechanical failure) needed replacement – total for this estimate is $9,952.98!!!!!

Exterior and interior began to smell of gasoline, upon investigation by accessing the low pressure fuel pump located under the rear seat, it was determined the fuel pump developed hairline cracks allowing fuel to leak onto the undercarriage of the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle made an abnormally loud sound in the engine compartment. The contact stated that the service warning message was displayed. The vehicle was diagnosed with needing the exhaust replaced however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.

Similar to those issues identified in Open Investigation EA 20-001, I was driving two boy scouts to camp when my vehicle's brakes no longer worked. The brake pedal was firm and vehicle would not slow down almost resulting in a catastrophic crash on Interstate 95. Was able to veer off the road into the shoulder and up a ramp with a hill to slow down to safety. Vehicle is currently at dealer for diagnostics and repair.

2013 Range Rover Evoque. Consumer writes in regards to electrical issues. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED SOFTWARE ISSUES, WIRING FAILURES, AND SEAT OCCUPATION ISSUES. THE CONSUMER INTENDED TO SELL THE VEHICLE.

The windshield is getting microscratches in it and they seem to be on the inside of the glass they are getting worse and are impedeing me seeing.

WAS DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A LOUD WIND SOUND AND THEN ALL ENGINE POWER WAS LOST, IT ALSO WOULDN'T SHIFT BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. BUT I HAD TO AT LEAST MAKE IT HOME AND ON MY WAY HOME I WAS ON THE BYPASS AND I COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO GO ABOVE 65. IT WAS DEFINITELY STRUGGLING. I WENT TO SHOP AND GOT DIAGNOSED AND THEY CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE TURBO HAS GONE OUT AND THAT HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE EVOQUE. SO NOW IT'S A HEFTY REPAIR DUE TO FAULTY MANUFACTURING OF THE TURBOCHARGER. I LOOKED IT UP AND IT SEEMS THAT MANY EVOQUE OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR TURBOS GOING OUT

VEHICLE IS LEAKING POWER STEERING FLUID WHICH CAN CAUSE OUT OF CONTROL ACCIDENTS LEADING TO LOSS OF LIFE. VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY AND I NOTICED SPOTS OF STAINS WHEN FURTHER INSPECT I NOTICE IT WAS POWER STEERING FLUID SWEATING COMING FROM THE POWER STEERING HOSE AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS PARKED ON MY DRIVEWAY I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT I'M USING IN THE MEANWHILE.

THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IS LOOSE AND LEAKS EXTREME TOOK IT TO A WINDSHIELD PROFESSIONAL AND SAID IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT BECAUSE THEY HAD MANY CLIENT WITH SAME PROBLEM. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND ALSO SAID CLIENTS WITH SAME PROBLEM. SADLY WHEN I CONTACTED CORPORATE THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP. STANDING. JUST BOUGHT CAR FROM INDIVIDUAL. FOTO SHOWS PLASTIC BAG I HAD TO PUT FOR PROTECTION. WET ALL DASHBOARD STEERING AND LEATHER SEAT. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE SRS WARNING LIGHT. PASSENGER SEAT MODULE AND OCCUPANT SEAT SENSOR MODULE FAULT/ FAILED. ISSUE OCCURRED AND WAS CONSISTENT BOTH WHEN CAR WAS IN MOTION AND WHEN STATIONARY.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON A ROAD AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY (I10) IT LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN NOT SHIFT ABOVE 3RD GEAR (AUTOMATIC). WHEN I PLACED IT MANUALLY INTO HIGHER GEARS IT TRIED TO AUTOMATICALLY DOWNSHIFT. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO PLACE ON MY FOUR WAYS AND MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT CAUSING A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING SITUATION. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE TURBO COMPONENT HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER IT WAS REPLACED I ASKED WHAT HAD CAUSED THE FAILURE AND THEY SAID THAT NOTHING I DID CAUSED IT. IT IS APPARENTLY A COMMON ISSUE FOR THE TURBO COMPONENT TO FAIL IN THE 2012-2014 MODELS. I WAS NOT WARNED ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY SAID IT IS CAUSED BY A KNOWN MECHANICAL ISSUE. THEY ALSO SAID THE REPLACED THE TURBO COMPONENT WITH AN ALTERNATE PART NUMBER BECAUSE THE ONE ORIGINALLY IN MY VEHICLE FAILS SO OFTEN THEY NO LONGER USE IT. THIS OCCURS OFTEN ENOUGH THEY ALREADY HAD THE PART IN STOCK. I THINK THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE FAULTY TURBO PARTS. I HAVE THE SERVICE RECORD IF NEEDED.

76K MILES AND TURBO CHARGER NEEDS REPLACED. $3,454.00. RIDICULOUS. NO TEPAIR SHOULD BE THIS MUCH. MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS AT SIMILAR MILES. FOR A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE THIS IS HORRIBLE! NOTICED SLOW ACCELERATION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GO UP HILLS.

SOUNDS LIKE THEY ARE VERY AWARE OR LTB00795NAS1. A TECHNICAL BULLETIN INVOLVING THE "ACTIVE ON DEMAND COUPLING OIL PUMP" THAT JUST HAPPENS TO MESS UP ON SPECIFIC CARS FROM A SPECIFIC PLANT AT WITH NO FAULT TO THE DRIVER, YET THIS IS NOT A RECALL?? I CALLED LR USA AND THE REPRESENTATIVE SAID IT DID NOT MEET THE STANDARDS OF A RECALL, WHATEVER THAT MEANS.

UPON STARTING THE ENGINE IN THE GARAGE WITH THE HEAT SYSTEM ON THE EXHAUST FROM THE ENGINE ENTERS THE CABIN OF THE CAR WITH CARBON MONOXIDE FUMES. SMELL IS SICKENING, POISONOUS, AND DANGEROUS. THE CAUSE AS PER MY REPAIRMAN: THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS A FAULTY DESIGN. THE PIECES ARE WELDED, THE WELDING FAILS, A CRACK ALLOWS CARBON MONOXIDE TO LEAK INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND TURBO CHARGER ARE ONE PIECE. REPAIR COSTS OVER $3000. THE CAR HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT. THE NEWLY INSTALLED EXHAUST MANIFOLD/TURBO CHARGER IS THE SAME DESIGN THAT FAILED, LAND ROVER HASN'T MADE ANY CHANGES. IT'S LIKELY THIS NEW PART WILL FAIL AS WELL.

MY LAND ROVER EVOQUE WAS RUNNING IN MY DRIVEWAY IN THE PARK POSITION (WARMING UP). I STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO GRAB SOMETHING FROM MY HOUSE AND WITHIN MINUTES I HEARD A BANG, THE CAR WENT INTO DRIVE AND SMASHED INTO MY FENCE, CONTINUED TO SMASH THROUGH THE FENCE AND LANDED INTO MY POOL. IT STOPPED THERE AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED OUT. THIS IS THE SECOND INSTANCE. THE FIRST INSTANCE HAPPENED IN MARCH 2015. MY CAR WAS IN PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY. I STARTED THE CAR, RAN BACK INTO MY HOUSE AND HEARD A LOUD BANG. THE CAR SLAMMED INTO MY FENCE BUT LUCKILY A CEMENT POST STOPPED IT. WHEN I APPROACHED THE CAR IT WAS IN THE PARK GEAR AND LUCKILY NO EXTERNAL DAMAGE WAS DONE. THIS SHIFT GEAR NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT FOR A POTENTIAL RECALL.

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE MIRRORS DO NOT UNFOLD IF YOU FOLLOW THESE STEPS. I HAVE TESTED THIS ON MY 2013 EVOQUE AND A RENTAL 2014 Y YOU WILL NEED TWO PEOPLE TO REPRODUCE THIS. 1) HAVE PASSENGER HOLD THE KEY AND UNLOCK THE VEHICLE FROM A DISTANCE 2) DRIVER GETS IN, AND TRIES STARTING VEHICLE WITH THE PASSENGER IN THE CAR BUT THE KEY MUST NOT BE DETECTED (I.E.: DRIVER PUSHES START BUTTON WHILE PASSENGER IS JUST GETTING IN THE CAR, SUBSEQUENT ATTEMPTS SHOULD RESULT IN "KEY NOT DETECTED" EVEN IF THE DRIVER NOW HOLDS THE KEY IN THEIR HAND.) 3) WHILE SITTING IN THE CAR, LOCK THE CAR USING THE KEYFOB. 4) CAR SHOULD NOW START WHEN YOU PUSH THE START BUTTON. TAKE NOTE AT HOW THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE MIRRORS WILL NOT UNFOLD EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENED TO ME DURING THE NIGHT WITH MY BLACK VEHICLE AND I COULD NOT TELL THAT THE MIRRORS WERE NOT UNFOLDED AND IT APPEARS TO THE DRIVER THAT THEY ARE JUST FINE WHEN THEY TRULY ARE JUST PROVIDING A REFLECTION OF THE CAR, SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE ANY TRAFFIC USING THOSE MIRRORS. THE SIMPLE FIX IS TO GET OUT OF THE CAR, LOCK IT, UNLOCK IT, GET IN AND START IT AND THE MIRRORS WILL COME OUT. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EASILY REPRODUCE THIS, SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON REPRODUCING IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW. -REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
