I am writing to formally request a review of my vehicle for inclusion in NHTSA Recall 21V-635, issued May 11, 2022, concerning fuel leaks at the fuel tank flange assembly. My vehicle is a 2012 Land Rover LR4, VIN [XXX] . Although my local Land Rover dealer has informed me that my VIN is not currently included in the recall population, my vehicle is experiencing the exact condition described in the recall notice — a fuel leak originating from the fuel outlet flange mounted on the fuel tank. The recall letter for 21V-635 states that all Land Rover LR4 vehicles model years 2010–2016 are included. My vehicle falls squarely within that model year range. Given this, and the fact that my vehicle …

NHTSA complaint 11612321. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

My 2012 LR4 engine completely seized on the highway in July 2022 while I was traveling at 75mph. I was incredibly lucky to be in the right hand lane (after passing 2 large trucks) when I heard and felt the extremely abrupt "clunk" come from the engine. The red engine light came on and my LR4 no longer worked. I had to veer off the highway and coast onto the grass. Had I been in the left hand lane still when this happened, the outcome for me and multiple others on the highway that day would not have been good. My Land Rover dealer (where my car was towed back to) confirmed engine failure. They found a torn oil filter and lots of metal shavings in the filter. They also found a damaged piston …

My car has a strong gasoline odor when I drive it as well as when I turn it off and park it. However, especially when parking. In addition, after refueling, the fuel gauge lags for a few minutes in terms of fuel level. As a result of these events, I searched online for vehicle recalls and came across the information on your page. As you suggested, I contacted the authorized Land Rover dealer. After multiple communications and several attempts to schedule an appointment to address the issue, they inform me that they do not currently have the parts in stock to address the issue that the vehicle presents. At the same time, they tell me that if I want to fix it as soon as possible, I must pay …
