2010 Land Rover LR4: fuel leak

Filed Aug 22, 2026 · Engine, Fuel system · MI · crash · fire · 1 injury

Recall caused full engine failure which caused 75mph to abrupt stop on Highway. Violently shaking and leaked gas inside vehicle. I was confused because I had no collision and liberty mutual denied my claims, but I was hurt from a recall - dealer frequently recorded as fixed during a scam that caused me to lose my full savings and be stuck with a unfixed covered car. (Dealer tried to say they were helping me buy not charging $2500 and said they were sending my car to an impound.) causing me to pay $16k (full savings) towards 18k to clear the loan....the manager said I did not have a deal and that my impounded car would be $4k a month. (Way back confirms recall being fixed on records as I refused unsafe gas recall to be fixed. They sent the car back in pieces) I had to recover it from an abandoned nearby neighborhood and store it for years trying to get help - I am now 100% TBI and believe this gas leak and impact caused me injuries.

while driving at approximately 70 mph on the highway, I encountered a severe issue that jeopardized my safety and the safety of others on the road.The problem manifested as a fuel leak, resulting in fumes inside the vehicle that caused impairment to my ability to operate the vehicle safely. This impairment led to the vehicle entering a gated mode and initiating aggressive braking, almost causing a collision.This incident is deeply alarming, and I believe it poses a serious risk to the well-being of drivers and passengers. I am reaching out to request an immediate investigation into this matter and to seek information on any safety recalls or issues related to the fuel system of the 2010 Land Rover LR4. Fuel tank flange failure caused complex problems for engine replacement needed. Not covered by land rover and was not repaired as reported

The contact owns a 2010 Land Rover LR4. The contact stated that upon entering the vehicle, an abnormal fuel odor permeated throughout the vehicle. The contact then discovered that fuel was leaking from the fuel tank. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and the vehicle was repaired with the parts that had led to a recall. The contact then received a letter in the mail that his vehicle was included in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 21V635000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred him to his local dealer. The contact was later informed by the dealer that he had to pay for his vehicle to be shipped off his island and onto the mainland where the dealer was located.

The petrol flange/fuel filter developed a crack in the top causing fuel to spray out the top of the tank when the engine was running. The tank is under the vehicle next to the exhaust system, so there is potential for a fire. There was a strong fuel smell after driving the vehicle, but no fuel dripping when parked. The problem was diagnosed with an internet search which turned up several other instances of the same problem including a video on youtube showing the same issue. Further research revealed an investigation on the issue: the federal safety agency action number: pe20018. I replaced the filter myself and will keep the old one in case it is needed for the investigation. Please contact me if you need additional information.

Smelled fuel smell in the garage but never any drips in the garage. After investigation, fuel is leaking from top of tank and blowing back of the back of the vehicle, part of which is the tail pipe. Leak is coming from inline filter at the top of the tank. Common problem, this is dangerous and needs to be a recall.

Vehicle was leaking fuel. I could always smell gas but could see nothing dripping. Was driving down the freeway when the vehicle just died. The gas monitor said I had 50 miles to go before needing fuel. I got it towed in and was told the fuel pump was leaking. This was dangerous because I had no warning and was in heavy traffic of 70mph when it just died on a bridge. They tow cost me almost $300 to get it to shop. The next day they told me the good news is I just ran out of gas, and the bad news is I have a leak around fuel pump which caused it to give a false reading of how much fuel I really had. As strong as the fumes were it's a wonder it never caught fire. This cost over $800 to fix. The other problem I had is when the fuel injectors failed, and I needed a tow truck again. The car gave a warning saying 'restricted performance' the failure of the fuel injectors caused gas to leak as well, and the shop had to open all it doors and windows. This time the leaking fuel was visible. This cost me over $2600 to fix. This was all within 90 days of each other.
