I am submitting this complaint regarding a potential safety defect involving windshield water intrusion on my 2017 Range Rover Evoque. My vehicle is experiencing water entering the passenger and driver's compartment through the windshield/sealing area. This is not ordinary cosmetic wear or damage to the windshield. The concern is that the windshield is not properly preventing water from entering the vehicle. There's also malfunctioning with the display screen which seems to be a direct result of water leakage. Land Rover previously issued Service Action N221 concerning windshield water leaks on certain 2015–2018 Range Rover Evoque vehicles. I contacted an authorized Land Rover dealership regarding the water intrusion affecting my vehicle. The dealership informed me that the applicable service action expired in 2020 and that Land Rover would not cover the repair. After receiving that response, I contacted Land Rover North America directly. Land Rover North America also told me that there was nothing they could do because the service action had expired. I purchased this vehicle after the service-action period had ended. Therefore, I was not the owner during the period when the service action was available and did not have an opportunity to have the vehicle inspected or repaired under that program. I am concerned that this water intrusion may involve the same windshield/sealing condition that Land Rover previously identified on this vehicle model. I am also concerned about the potential consequences of water entering the passenger compartment, including possible damage to electrical components or other vehicle systems. I am asking the federal safety agency to review this complaint and determine whether the windshield water-intrusion condition affecting the Range Rover Evoque represents an ongoing safety defect that warrants further investigation. I can provide photographs, video, vehicle documentation, repair estimates, and records of my communications with Land Rover upon request.

Backup camera became inoperable after a car wash and water leaked into the electrical components. This is already a current issue and many models have been recalled, but my year, 2019 has not been included. I can no longer view anything while backing up the video and the dash continues to flash Camera System Default. Please consider adding 2019 Evoques to the existing recall.

My window is constantly leaking water. I am not the original owner. I went to get the window repaired and the shops say it’s a recall. I never knew it was one. I now have a problem with wiring and I believe that the leaks have lead to this!

I am submitting this complaint to report a significant windshield defect in my 2020 Range Rover Evoque. The issue involves water ingress due to improper windshield bonding, which leads to leaks into the passenger compartment and excessive wind noise. This is a known issue with Land Rover vehicles, as evidenced by Service Action N221, which acknowledges similar problems in prior model years, including other Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery vehicles. Despite the fact that Land Rover has documented and repaired this issue in other vehicles, Land Rover North America has denied responsibility for the defect in my vehicle. They agreed to cover the diagnostic inspection but refused to repair the defect under warranty or as a goodwill repair. Safety Concerns:     •    Structural Integrity Risk: A poorly bonded windshield compromises the vehicle’s structural integrity in the event of a crash.     •    Driver Visibility: Water leaks can cause fogging on the windshield, obstructing the driver’s view.     •    Electrical Damage: Water ingress can lead to electrical malfunctions, potentially impacting vehicle safety systems.
