MY 1992 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER HAS A STRESS CRACK IN THE TOP OF THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK, IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL FOR 1993-95 RANGE ROVERS UNDER NHTSA #04V20300. LAND ROVER CAN'T TELL ME WHY THE 1992 VEHICLES ARE NOT COVERED. GAS NOW POURS OUT OF TANK ONTO THE GROUND DURING FILL-UP. I WANT COVERAGE OF THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL DESIGN FLAW UNDER THE SAME PARAMETERS AS NHTSA RECALL #04V20300. *NM

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.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
