The transmission oil cooler pipes commonly leak on 2010-2013 LR4 and Range Rover Sport (LS) to the extent that a TSB (LTB00378NAS2) was issued on September 9th 2014 by JLR. The fluid leak causes undue wear on the transmission along with corrosion of the chasis. JLR in Alpharetta, GA wants to charge $3,100 dollars to replace the defective parts. I believe that this problem is much more common that JLR has previously represented in the model years mentioned above and that this should be reclassified as a recall as soon as possible.

Visibility: sun/moon roof assembly
- What is wrong
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Land Rover LR4 vehicles manufactured August 15, 2012, to September 18, 2012. Due to the use of an incorrect primer, the panoramic roof adhesive may not adequately secure the roof assembly.

- Remedy
- Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will apply the correct primer, free of charge. The recall began in August 2015. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1‑800‑637‑6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is P065.
Recall number 15V386000 · Recall details
Tires: pressure monitoring and regulating systems
- What is wrong
- Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2014 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport and 2013-2014 LR4 vehicles manufactured September 16, 2013, to June 30, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate, despite the the tire pressures being within specification. Should one of the tires subsequently lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change in air pressure.
- Risk
- If the TPMS light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the Body Control Module (BCM) software, free of charge. The recall began on November 6, 2014. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1‑800‑637‑6837, Option 9. Land Rover's number for this recall is P050.

The 2022 repair to address the federal safety agency Safety Recall Number: 21V‑635 - Gasoline Fuel Tank Flange Assembly Cracking was inadequate and led to a fuel pump crack that we are now having to repair in January 2025, after a routine check indicated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. We transport three school-aged children in our vehicle and was told by a mechanic that the car was unsafe to drive and could blow up if we continued to drive it. My husband had the vehicle towed and contacted Land Rover, since we previously had it repaired and continued to experience the issues other drivers complained about even after the repair, including fuel odor, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp illuminating and liquid fuel on the ground. Land Rover indicated that the repair from 2022 was adequate and refused to remedy the fuel tank leak. The cost for the repair is $1700.

The fuel system failed on my first real highway trip to the mountains. Suddenly lost power to accelerate on highway making it dangerous to pass, warning lights came on. Vehicle was taken to the nearest small town not equipped to repair however vehicle was deemed unsafe to drive and I had to have it towed 300 km home. Fuel injection system failed and caused metal bits to get into engine causing engine to also need replacement. This is at only 144,000 kms. This was a $15,200 repair. Seems like this was a huge failure of the fuel injection system.

Experiencing leaking of 2nd-row panoramic glass with a slight detachment. [XXX] 2013 Silver LR4 The dealership was notified in Eatontown, Monmouth County in New Jersey USA reported the issue, and was denied further aid with the original recall. SRE15-13 the federal safety agency#15V‑386 Land Rovers number for this recall is P065 -- Recall no. 15V386000 Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model years 2012-2013 Land Rover LR4. Due to the use of an incorrect primer, the panoramic roof adhesive may not adequately secure the roof assembly. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
I recently had a failure, while driving, of the left rear toe link bolt on my 2013 Land Rover LR4. A few pictures of this fractured bolt (Land Rover Part # RYG501580G) are attached. The failure caused the left rear wheel to toe in about 10-20 degrees. Fortunately I was driving on a circular on-ramp to Interstate 15 in St. George, Utah. Had I gotten on the freeway and had this failure while changing lanes at 60 to 70 mph, I suspect the vehicle could have flipped and crashed. The bolt holds the Rear Suspension Toe Link, Part # LR019117, to the wheel hub. The fractured part of the bolt remains in the hub. From the pictures, it looks as thought the bolt had began to fracture some time ago (the darker, discolored areas on each side of the bolt). These fracture areas would be consistent with loads imposed from turning the vehicle. The final catastrophic failure occurred at one time, as can be seen by the “silver” area down the center of the bolt. This pattern is vertical with respect to the vehicle. This is a classic stress fracture and failure.
I am not sure what component malfunctioned, but it is available for inspection. I was driving on the highway going around 73-75 mph (no more than 76) in a 70 mph zone. I had just come off of a slight turn on the highway that ends with a small bump on the highway and once I was past the curve then going straight, the body of the car started to wobble back and forth. My safety was put at risk because this car is a high risk already for rolling over and it felt like the whole car was going to tip over wobbling back and forth. Others safety was at risk because I had to decelerate on the highway to stop the wobbling and continue until the nearest exit at an unsafe speed on the highway at about 50 mph. After further research I believe it was a "death wobble" which can be extremely dangerous for the people occupied in the vehicle and vehicles behind because of the need to slow down. The problem has not been reproduced as of now because of fear of safety. The vehicle has been inspected by a personal car mechanic. The day prior I had just received the car back from personal mechanic to put new tires on, new brake pads, and a new air bag sensor put in.
