TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS

14V618000 · October 3, 2014

The defect
Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain model year 2014 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport and 2013-2014 LR4 vehicles manufactured September 16, 2013, to June 30, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate, despite the the tire pressures being within specification. Should one of the tires subsequently lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change in air pressure.
The risk
If the TPMS light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the Body Control Module (BCM) software, free of charge. The recall began on November 6, 2014. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837, Option 9. Land Rover's number for this recall is P050.

POWER TRAIN

crash · 2,000 miles

I PARKED MY LR4 IN MY DRIVEWAY, WHICH IS ON AN INCLINE. I SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION TO WHAT I BELIEVED WAS PARK, BUT APPARENTLY THE SHIFTER DID NOT END UP ALL THE WAY IN THE PARK POSITION. I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE USING THE PUSH-BUTTON SWITCH, OPENED THE DOOR AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN ROLLING TOWARD ME. THE DOOR HIT ME ON THE WAY DOWN THE DRIVEWAY, AND I WAS FORTUNATELY ABLE TO JUMP CLEAR OF THE OPEN DOOR INTO THE STAIRWAY. THE CAR CONTINUED ROLLING DOWN HILL, AND THE DOOR, STILL OPEN, HIT THE RETAINING WALL, FOLDING IT BACK OVER ITS HINGES. THE CAR CONTINUED ROLLING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY, INTO BUSY TRAFFIC?A CAR NEARLY HIT IT?AND ACROSS THE STREET, WHERE IT T-BONED A HONDA

POWER TRAIN
The transmission oil cooler pipes commonly leak on 2010-2013 LR4 and Range Rover Sport (LS) to the extent that a TSB (LTB00378NAS2) was issued on September 9th 2014 by JLR. The fluid leak causes undue wear on the transmission along with corrosion of the chasis. JLR in Alpharetta, GA wants to charge $3,100 dollars to replace the defective parts. I believe that this problem is much more common that JLR has previously represented in the model years mentioned above and that this should be reclassified as a recall as soon as possible.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The 2022 repair to address NHTSA Safety Recall Number: 21V-635 - Gasoline Fuel Tank Flange Assembly Cracking was inadequate and led to a fuel pump crack that we are now having to repair in January 2025, after a routine check indicated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. We transport three school-aged children in our vehicle and was told by a mechanic that the car was unsafe to drive and could blow up if we continued to drive it. My husband had the vehicle towed and contacted Land Rover, since we previously had it repaired and continued to experience the issues other drivers complained about even after the repair, including fuel odor, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp illuminating and liquid

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The fuel system failed on my first real highway trip to the mountains. Suddenly lost power to accelerate on highway making it dangerous to pass, warning lights came on. Vehicle was taken to the nearest small town not equipped to repair however vehicle was deemed unsafe to drive and I had to have it towed 300 km home. Fuel injection system failed and caused metal bits to get into engine causing engine to also need replacement. This is at only 144,000 kms. This was a $15,200 repair. Seems like this was a huge failure of the fuel injection system.

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
