Filed Aug 23, 201610,455 vehiclesJaguar Land Rover North America, LLC

Defect. Jaguar Land Rover North America, LCC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2015 Discovery Sport manufactured September 17, 2014 through November 3, 2014 and 2014-2015 Range Rover Evoque vehicles manufactured July 15, 2013 through July 1, 2015. In the affected vehicles the transmission sensor clusters may have insufficient crimps in the transmission wire harness, and as a result, the transmission may unexpectedly shift to neutral.

Risk. If the vehicle unexpectedly shifts to neutral, there is an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy. Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the automatic transmission serial number and if required, will update the transmission software to prevent the transmission from shifting into neutral due to a faulty crimp, free of charge. The recall is expected to began October 14, 2016. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is P091.

The vehicle unexpectedly shifts into neutral. I purchased the vehicle in 2023 at a used car dealership. I mentioned that this was happening to the salesmen roughly 1-2 months after I purchased the vehicle when it first happened I asked him if there were any recalls or any repairs done that I should know about. I was told there were no recalls and no repairs done on the truck. I was told to take it to a dealer to have it check. I called the dealer and mentioned that I saw a recall for this same issue from 2016. I was told there wasn’t a recall on the vin #. The truck is not safe to drive. I’m afraid I will cause a serious accident with the truck unexpectedly shifting into neutral.

I am reporting a critical and systemic defect affecting Land Rover vehicles equipped with the 2.0L GTDi turbo petrol engine (240 hp), including my 2015 Evoque, My engine suffered catastrophic failure at ~118,000 miles while driving caused by a premature timing chain or tensioner failure. Pistons & valves collides, cams clashed and wouldn't rotate, loss of compression and dangerously instantaneous loss of power/speed/control without warning. The damage required full engine replacement. This significantly increases the risk of crashes & deaths especially at high speeds, traffic congestion, windy roads or hills, night time driving, poor weather conditions. Without warning the driver is helpless without power or ability to move to safety and rear end collision or loss of control is highly likely. Land Rover’s Passport to Service for the 2015 model year does not include timing chain inspection or replacement at any interval—not at 60k, 90k, or even 120k miles. The chain is treated as a “lifetime” component, giving drivers no opportunity to prevent failure. Vehicle had all proper maintenance, recent oil changes at low intervals, and official Land Rover dealership underwent full diagnostics and testing with the conclusion this fault was not user/driver related or to any part myself. Online forums, technician reports, and owner cases show this issue is widespread and recurring across many model years and builds using this engine. The repair is anywhere from 15-20k USD for the evoque

1. The EPAS system detached from the steering rack (caused by the three bolts that attach the EPAS to the steering rack being fractured and corroded due to saltwater ingress (inter crystalline corrosion) causing a loss of steering control. 2. This caused loss of steering control and presented a potentially catastrophic driving condition. 3. The problem has been confirmed by a JLR dealer. 4. This problem has been recognized by Canadian authorities who issued a recall (Transport Canada Recall #2018-180). Further, in the UK, the UK Government DVSA secured and agreement from JLR tp "fix upon failure" which may have been changed to a general recall. Lastly, BMW of North America issued a letter in September, 2018 proactively recalling all cars possibly affected by this issue to be inspected by their service departments and corrective action taken free of charge. 5. There were no warning lamps, messages or symptoms prior to failure.

During routine maintenance (motor oil change), I discovered the transfer case leaking oil from a sealing cap. Upon further investigation, I discovered Land Rover is aware of the issue and they have a Technical Bulletin (LTB00834NAS1) for the repair. I contacted Land Rover Corporate and the local dealer, they both refused to repair it free of charge since the vehicle is out of warranty. This is a safety issue and Land Rover should repair it with a recall. If all the oil leaks out (transfer case only holds approx 1 pint), the transfer case would seize and potentially cause a crash.

Steering completely went on my car. Thankfully I was just backing out of the driveway. I had to have the car towed to the dealership b/c it was completely undrivabe. If I had been driving on the highway, I don't know what would have happened. Absolutely no warning lights came on. The issue is a bolt snapped due to corrosion. The Land Rover dealership told me they need to replace the steering gearbox. I have done some research and have found this issue has been recalled in the UK and Canada but not in the US. The dealer acknowledged this is a known issue but that it has not been recalled in US yet.

Vehicle has stress cracking bilaterally on front bumper where it meets the fender , looks like it is due to heat or excess tension from headlight. Cracks are split down the sides symmetrically and end result is requiring a brand new bumper at thousands of dollars. LTB00738NAS2 Is a technical bulletin describing exact issue but land rover states this bulletin doesn’t matter to me as I am out of factory warranty and there is no recall. The bumper being adrift reduces safety of the vehicle and interferes with alignments of sensors used for parking, collision avoidance, and other ADAS systems.

2015 Evoque cam failed and ruined the engine at 68k miles. The cost of the repair exceeds the value of the car (about $17k). No one will fix it for this reason. It shifted into neutral unexpectedly causing a potential traffic hazard. It was impossible to move it out of the roadway without the assistance of a tow truck (parking brakes lock, and gear selector becomes useless.) After some research this seems to be a fairly common known issue. This is very unsafe, and financially devasting on a financed car. There were no warnings and no prior issues up to the time of incident.

WHEN ON FREEWAY AND CAR HIT A BUMP THE WHOLE CAR WOULD GIVE A LOUD THUMP AND STABILITY WAS SERIOUSLY COMPROMISED TO THE POINT TURNS DID NOT FEEL SAFE IF THERE WAS A 'ROUGH' ROAD. DEALER FAILED TO RECOGNIZE IT EVEN AFTER ME BRINGING IT IN AND STATING THE PROBLEM AS THEY SAID THAT ISSUE WOULD BE MORE RARE. HAD A THIRD PARTY INSTALL NEW MAGNERIDE SHOCKS... 2 WERE COMPLETELY SEIZED UP IN EXTENDED POSITION ALMOST TO THE POINT THEY COULDN'T BE REMOVED AND A THIRD WAS LEAKING. THERE IS NO MENTION OF ANY SERVICE, LIFESPAN, OR MAINTENANCE ON THE MAGNERIDE SHOCKS. WHILE IN THE PROCESS OF SUSPENSION REMOVAL, BOTH FRONT AXLES WERE BROKEN AS THE INSTALLER NOTICED THE FRONT AXLE THREADS WERE STRIPPED AT THE HUB AND ONE NUT SIEZED AND ANOTHER WAS DANGEROUSLY LOOSE... ENDED UP NEEDING TWO NEW FRONT AXLES AND WHEEL BEARING. THE MAIN ISSUE IS THE REACTION BETWEEN THE METALS, THE HUBS ARE ALUMINIUM AND THE BOLTS ARE STEEL AND THAT CAUSES GALVANIC CORROSION AND CAN BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
