What owners say

Filed Oct 7, 2026 · Airbags, Engine · TX

Component Failed & Availability: The high-pressure fuel system and the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) have failed. The vehicle is currently available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: The vehicle experiences severe heat-soak depressurization, causing unpredictable engine stalling, sudden loss of power, and violent pressure lag during hot starts and acceleration. This creates a severe crash hazard when attempting to enter or maneuver in traffic. Simultaneously, the primary airbag/restraint matrix is faulted, meaning occupants are unprotected if an accident occurs due to the stalling. Warning Lamps & Symptoms: The Check Engine Light is illuminated, actively displaying DTC P00C6-00 (Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low - Engine Cranking Bank 1). The SRS warning light is also continuously illuminated.

I own a 2018 Land Rover Range Rover where the airbag warning light remains illuminated at all times on the dashboard, even when the front passenger seat is empty and no cargo is present on the seat. The warning light for airbag indicatesthat the air bag is not activated and will not work in a collision. The passenger air bag has been inoperable for over 2 years.This issue has persisted for several years, with documented dealer service records dating back to before my warranty expired. The dealer (Land Rover of Palm Beach) diagnosed it as resulting from the front passenger seat movement causing detachment or strain on the wiring harness/connector for the occupant classification system (OCS), which detects passenger presence and controls airbag deployment. The Passenger seat air bag sensor or wiring harness is defective and needs replacement for the passenger side air bag to function. They said that all 2018 Range Rover air bag harnesses are too short and are prone to being detached by seat movements / adjustments. They have repeatedly reset the light and reconnected the harness, but the warning recurs shortly after, indicating an unresolved design or manufacturing defect in the under-seat wiring that is prone to failure from normal seat adjustments. This prevents reliable operation of the passenger frontal airbag, posing a serious safety risk as it may fail to deploy (or deploy improperly) in a crash, endangering occupants. The dealer refuses to install a new larger harness or provide a permanent fix, despite this being a known recurring problem reported by other owners of similar L405 Range Rover models. They say that Land Rover corporate is not providing a newer replacement harness and is not paying for the repairs despite this being a serious safety issue. I request the federal safety agency investigation into this potential widespread defect to determine if a recall or safety action is warranted. This may be the same problem as reported in the federal safety agency Campaign # 11500093 & 11693335.

There's problem with the wiring harness under the drivers seat, causing a fault in the airbag sensor, and the airbag warning light to illuminate. If you look online, many owners are having this same isssue. I have had this Airbag warning light illuminating off and on my 2018 Range Rover for over 6 months now. When I raise the seat to its highest position and "wiggle" the wire harness, the airbag warning light on the dashboard will extinguish. Thank you google! and the many owners with this problem for spelling out the work around! I had the same problem with my wife's 2015 Range Rover Sport (Vin [XXX] ). Unfortunately, I didn't know the work around and the Range Rover Dealership charge me $1500 for a new wiring harness. The Danger is the vehicle's airbag may not work in the event of a head on collision. Range Rover should be forced to inspect/replace all airbag wiring harnesses under the drivers seat.

The side/front airbags wire harness system are in and under the driver/or passenger seat and become disconnected when you move the seats, therefore making it so the side and front airbags won’t work. This is said to be a known issue says the dealership but not covered under any circumstances even though they detailed my car after having for two months trying to fix my brakes with no airbag issues and now I have this airbag light on and issue with my airbags. But it’s also a known safety issue flaw I was told by the manager at the mission viejo ca dealership ! Unacceptable!

There is an the federal safety agency article for a recall attributed to a front side airbag which affected vehicles built from may 9, 2012 through march 15, 2013. I believe this recall should be extended to all 2013-2014 model year range rovers. When my airbag light turned on, I was immediately concerned and rushed to the dealer to have the issue inspected. Upon dealer investigation, I was told that the light turns on and off. Often the light will remain on. Other times, the light will remain for an extended period of time and then turn off and finally at odd times it will remain off. I was informed by a dealer that this is a common issue with the 2013-14 model year range rovers however the manufacturer has limited the original recall to 3,912. While I have contacted the manufacturer to have them resolve this issue. I have requested the dealership to order the part which I was informed will take over 3 weeks to receive. This is the second full week.
