Steering knuckle cracked and became disconnected from car while driving straight on the highway during normal driving conditions.

On July 27, 2026, while driving westbound on SR-62, the vehicle unexpectedly moved laterally and collided with the left-rear area of a commercial tractor-trailer. In the days before the crash, I recall hearing a knocking noise from the front and experiencing the vehicle pulling, but I did not understand these as signs of a safety defect. After the crash, the right-front upper suspension/steering-knuckle connection was catastrophically separated and displaced, the wheel and hub were out of their normal position, and the vehicle was not drivable. Photographs and videos preserve the post-crash condition. The vehicle was subject to an unrepaired JLR D041/the federal safety agency 25V‑514 safety recall for cracking of the front suspension upper knuckle joint. The recalled defect can cause the upper suspension arm to detach, compromise vehicle controllability, and increase the risk of a crash. The same failure mechanism is under the federal safety agency Engineering Analysis EA26003. The police report attributed the vehicle’s movement toward the adjacent lane to an unsafe lane change. However, no component-level mechanical inspection was performed, and the recalled steering-knuckle condition was not evaluated. I did not intentionally initiate a lane change. The vehicle’s observed trajectory is consistent with, but does not by itself prove, a sudden loss of directional control caused by a suspension or steering failure. An independent collision-repair assessment documents major right-front suspension, steering, wheel, cooling-system, and possible structural damage requiring computerized measurement and further inspection. The vehicle, failed components, and original photographs and videos have been preserved and are available for inspection. I experienced persistent neck soreness and stiffness after the impact; no ambulance transportation or medical treatment was requested at the scene.

I am filing a complaint regarding an unresolved safety recall on my Land Rover vehicle that has remained unrepaired for over seven (7) months. The recall was issued in or around August 2025. Since that time, I have repeatedly attempted to have the recall repair completed through an authorized dealership, Jaguar Land Rover Buffalo. On March 6, 2026, at approximately 1:25 PM, I contacted the dealership at (716) 831-3100 and spoke with a service representative. I was informed they are still “waiting on instructions from Land Rover” and are unable to perform the recall repair. As of today, more than seven months have passed since the recall notice, and no repair, interim remedy, or timeline has been provided. The dealership has not offered: •A temporary repair or mitigation •A loaner or alternative transportation •Any estimated timeframe for resolution This delay appears unreasonable under federal safety recall requirements and leaves a known safety defect uncorrected.afety Risk: The vehicle continues to be operated with an unresolved safety defect, increasing the risk of malfunction, accident, or injury.

I am submitting this email as a formal safety defect notification regarding a front suspension knuckle cracking condition observed on my 2016 Range Rover Td6, which appears to directly correspond with Land Rover Recall D027. Attached are photographs of the passenger-side front suspension knuckle showing a distinct structural crack running vertically through the knuckle body at the upper control arm mounting point. The crack is continuous, visible from multiple perspectives, and is not consistent with a normal casting seam or cosmetic surface feature. According to the recall description, cracking in this location may result in loss of clamp load and potential separation of the suspension arm, posing a significant risk to vehicle control and occupant safety. The condition observed on my vehicle appears consistent with the failure mode identified by the manufacturer. I am submitting this information to: - Document a real-world instance of the suspected defect - Provide photographic evidence supporting the concern - Support evaluation of recall scope and remedy effectiveness This submission is provided in the interest of vehicle safety and defect reporting. I respectfully request confirmation of receipt and inclusion of this information in your defect review records. Please advise if any additional details or documentation are required.

Good morning, Some time ago Land Rover Corporate made me aware of the recall about the suspension failure that can happen without warning, but to date there is no fix and apparently no parts to fix the problem so I am in need of guidance as to what to do, what recourse do I have should this fail as I am driving, etc? I do not have another vehicle to drive in the meantime and given the recall it makes me nervous as most of my driving is at highway speed as I work in multiple locations each day depending on project. What are my next steps to remedy?

Safety Division, Please find attached my formal letter regarding an urgent safety concern related to Safety Recall D041 (Front Suspension Knuckle Crack) – the federal safety agency Recall No. 25V‑514, affecting my 2016 Land Rover Range Rover. It has been nearly a year since the initial recall notification, and the defect has now rendered my vehicle unsafe to drive. Despite repeated attempts to seek assistance, I have been advised there is still no remedy available, nor has Jaguar Land Rover provided a temporary vehicle or interim repair. Given the severity of this issue and the growing safety risk to my family, I am urgently requesting the federal safety agency’s intervention and guidance. - Attached: Urgent_Safety_Concern_Letter_Demetrius_Strong.pdf Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this correspondence at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] Email: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Front steering knuckle was cracked, Land Rover hadn’t notified me of any issues. I found the recall online, nearest dealer is 4-5 hours away. Was afraid to drive with cracked part. I replaced steering knuckle on my own out of pocket to keep vehicle safe. Vehicle was not in any accident or injuries. Defect found and fixed before anything could happen. Called Land Rover and they said no resolution for fix and when there was I would receive a letter on how to get it repaired or get reimbursed for repairs I had done to fix. Recall was issued in November of 2024, now August of 2025 still no info from Land Rover and dealer I have been in touch with still has no information either. I purchased parts in mid December of 2024 and had a local repair shop install it on 1-14-2025. Old part was retained as instructed by dealer I have been working with. From my findings in several forums that have members in other countries, they have issued the same recall in Europe and Canada and most vehicles were repaired by being taken into the dealer. Dealer I have been in contact with reported back to me that they had no parts to repair and advised me to get fixed on my own for now.

Passenger side front suspension knuckle has cracks

Filed Jul 13, 2025 · Suspension · TN

We have had a serious open suspension recall (the federal safety agency #24V‑840 / Land Rover Recall N759) on our 2016 Range Rover for nearly a year now, and still no remedy is available. The recall was issued on November 7, 2024, for a known defect involving the front suspension upper knuckle, which may crack and detach, leading to potential loss of control. Land Rover has acknowledged the danger but continues to delay offering a fix. We received a notice about the recall, but since then have only seen “remedy not yet available” when checking status. We’ve contacted Land Rover directly, but they offer no solution or timeline — just that we have to wait. This is not just a safety concern but is also significantly impacting us financially. We were planning to list this vehicle on Turo for supplemental income, but cannot do so while there is an open recall with no fix in place. The recall is also damaging our ability to sell or trade in the vehicle, as no dealer or platform wants a car with a long-standing unresolved safety defect. We are frustrated, feel ignored, and have no confidence in Land Rover’s commitment to resolving this issue. A safety recall that’s been known for months without resolution is completely unacceptable. We are requesting that the federal safety agency investigate and require the manufacturer to provide either a fix or an alternative solution.
