Recently had my car to my local auto repair shop for my yearly PA inspection. They indicated the unit is failing PA safety inspection due to the fuel tank shield being completely rusted through. My car is 7 years old with 75,000 miles and was always garage kept. The fuel tank shield also helps maintain the fuel tank in place and also serves to protect from road debris puncturing the tank. In the event the shield fails completely the tank would drop and place myself and others in severe danger or possible explosion. I am awaiting a response from the Land Rover dealer on how they wish to proceed.

Defect investigations
Front Steering Knuckle Fractures
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) is upgrading its Preliminary Evaluation (PE25006) of front steering knuckle fractures on model year (MY) 2014 through 2017 Range Rover Sport vehicles to an Engineering Analysis. ODI opened PE25006 on June 27, 2025, after receiving 12 Vehicle Owner's Questionnaire (VOQ) reports of the front aluminum steering knuckles fracturing in these vehicles. The reports describe the fractures occurring at the joint where the steering knuckle attaches to the upper control arm ball joint in one or both steering knuckles. Fracture of the front suspension knuckle can lead to detachment of the upper suspension arm. Detachment of the upper suspension arm results in the driverâs inability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. ODI reviewed information supplied by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in response to Information Request letters as well as reviewed the data with JLR on numerous occasions. ODI further reviewed relevant data on a peer vehicle with a significantly similar steering knuckle design, the MY 2014 through 2017 Range Rover. Much of the information is contradictory and requires a deeper analysis that is available in an Engineering Analysis. On August 5, 2025, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) filed safety recall 25V514. This recall covers certain MY 2014 and all MY 2015-2017 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles. The remedy for recall 25V514 addresses knuckles with and without a visible fracture. Knuckles that have developed a visible fracture will be replaced with a new knuckle of a substantially similar design. Knuckles with no fracture visibly present will have a brace attached to the upper portion of the front steering knuckle. JLR states that the purpose of the brace is to prevent the component from completely separating should a fracture develop. the federal safety agency continues to receive allegations of fractures occurring in the front steering knuckles of Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles. Two of the most recent VOQs received by ODI involve front steering knuckle fractures occurring on MY 2020 and MY 2021 Range Rover L405 vehicles. ODI will continue to investigate the component design and assess the potential safety risk as part of this Engineering Analysis and evaluate the recall remedies for Recall 25V514. Further, the scope of this Engineering Analysis will be expanded to include MY 2018-2022 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles as they have a substantially similar component design.

What 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Date of Incident: 10/08/2026 Component Affected: SUSPENSION:FRONT:STEERING KNUCKLE / AXLE HUB Complaint Description: The vehicle suffered a catastrophic, sudden structural failure of the front passenger-side suspension assembly while moving at low speed out of a residential driveway on October 8, 2026. Without any prior impact or warning, the front suspension completely separated, causing the front wheel assembly to detach entirely from the vehicle. The vehicle collapsed to the ground, tearing out the front CV axle and breaking vital brake fluid lines. Initial physical inspection shows the aluminum steering knuckle (spindle) completely fractured and split open at the upper ball joint seating, allowing the wheel assembly to break free from the control arms. This represents an extreme, life-threatening manufacturing safety defect. Had this component failed at highway speeds, total loss of steering control and a fatal crash would have occurred. The vehicle has 78,690 miles and has no history of structural accidents or suspension modifications. The manufacturer (Jaguar Land Rover) has previously issued a safety campaign (N759) for cracked steering knuckles on similar architectures, but this specific VIN was not included. the federal safety agency must investigate if JLR’s structural knuckle issues extend to the 2019 Range Rover Sport Supercharged V8 models to prevent a fatal highway failure. Photographic evidence has been preserved.
The car experienced a complete electrical failure. Exactly like the recall D126 warns about. This engineering fix is taking too long. They should simply replace the DC/DC converter. I was stuck in the middle of the intersection and had to have my car towed, battery replaced. They are slow playing this problem to avoid having to pay for repairs.
I purchased a 2019 Range Rover Sport on July 24, 2026. The steering wheel had been off-center since purchase, so on August 31, 2026, I took the vehicle to an independent repair facility for an alignment. During inspection, the shop discovered that the rear subframe/crossmember was fractured at the left-rear suspension mounting area. The repair facility inspected underneath the vehicle and reported that they did not find corresponding impact damage or other evidence underneath that would indicate the fracture resulted from an accident, road impact, or other external hit. Based on their inspection, the technicians stated that they suspect the rear subframe failure may be related to a casting/manufacturing issue with the Land Rover aluminum subframe. This is a serious safety concern because the fracture is located at a rear suspension mounting point and has resulted in significant rear-wheel alignment abnormalities. I am reporting this to the federal safety agency so the failure can be documented and evaluated for similar incidents involving Range Rover Sport rear subframes.
It was a car ahead of me in traffic with an unusual amount of dark smoke coming out of the tailpipe.
The contact owns a 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine and low coolant warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was pulled over to the shoulder of the road. Upon further inspection, the contact became aware of a coolant leak under the vehicle. The coolant reservoir was refilled, and there was white smoke coming from under the hood. A local independent mechanic arrived on scene and scanned the vehicle with an OBD2 scanner, but a diagnostic fault code was not provided. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Upon further investigation, the contact associated the failure with the federal safety agency Campaign: 23V221000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.
I had my oil changed and mechanic noted both my fuel tank belly pans were heavily corroded, which was odd for a garaged car with lower miles. They recommended reaching out to my dealership since this is a pressing issue that likely should include a recall or warranty. When I researched the issue, it's a known Range Rover Sport design issue, a 2019 should not have this much corrosion and it sounds like condensation pools. Also, the mechanic noted that this likely has been happening for a while. The RI Range Rover dealership inspected my car in August 2025, and didn't flag any issues.
The contact owns a 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. While the vehicle was at a service appointment, the contact was informed that the fuel tank shield was severely corroded. The contact was informed that the fuel tank shield needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was confirmed that the fuel tank shield was severely corroded. The contact was informed that the fuel tank shield needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was advised to contact the manufacturer to file a claim. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed; however, the claim was denied. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
The contact owns a 2019 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 MPH, there was a message of a "Module Failure" displayed, and the master warning light was illuminated before the vehicle stalled. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the residence and then to a dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the DC converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the check engine warning light illuminated approximately 20 minutes after restarting the vehicle. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the battery control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact believed that the failure was associated with damages from the original failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 88,000.
Safety Complaint Regarding Engine Oil Leak – Same Defect as Recall N763 (23V044000) Vehicle: 2019 Range Rover Sport | VIN: [XXX] Description of Problem: My vehicle is experiencing an oil leak from the engine area. Upon inspection by my mechanic/dealer, the failure was diagnosed as a blocked or improperly machined oil channel in the engine cam carrier, which is causing oil to leak externally. This is the exact component and failure mode described in Land Rover Safety Recall N763 (the federal safety agency Campaign 23V044000), which addresses a blocked engine cam carrier oil channel that can lead to an oil leak. Despite having the identical part failure on my vehicle, my VIN is not listed under the current recall scope. Safety Concern: I am extremely concerned about the fire risk. An oil leak in the presence of hot engine components or an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire. I have already observed oil spots where I park and occasionally smell burning oil while driving. I believe the recall population should be expanded to include my vehicle, as the defect clearly exists outside the current VIN range. Actions Taken: I contacted a Land Rover dealer, but they refused to cover the repair because my VIN is not on the active recall list.
