What 124 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport (5 Seat)

My insurance company notified me about Recall Campaign D019, and according to official NHTSA guidelines, where cracks are found, the front suspension knuckle must be replaced immediately at no charge. The dealership's local staff professionally inspected my vehicle and confirmed that the component is actively cracking. However, Land Rover Corporate has failed to provide a timely remedy for this specific recall, leaving me to drive an unsafe vehicle with a fractured suspension while claiming the repair procedure hasn't been released. This completely contradicts the manufacturer's safety obligations mandated by the NHTSA.

My 2015 Land Rover Range Rover underwent recall-related suspension repair work at Land Rover Orlando. Shortly after the repair, I began hearing an extremely loud noise from the front of the vehicle. The noise was severe enough that I informed the dealership I was afraid to drive the vehicle. I sent videos of the noise to the dealership. After reviewing the videos, dealership personnel advised that the issue was likely related to the air strut assembly or control arm bushings. The vehicle was later inspected by an independent mechanic. During that inspection, it was discovered that the front brake caliper bracket mounting bolts were not properly secured. On the driver's side, mounting bolts were reportedly missing. On the passenger side, mounting bolts were found extremely loose and could be removed by hand. The mechanic documented the condition with photographs and video evidence. The brake caliper bracket is a critical brake system component, and I believe this condition created a significant safety risk. Had the bracket separated or shifted while driving, it could have resulted in loss of braking performance, vehicle damage, loss of vehicle control, a crash, serious injury, or death. The abnormal noise began shortly after the recall repair. I reported the issue to the dealership at that time. The condition was later confirmed by an independent mechanic. The vehicle is currently undergoing repair. I am submitting this complaint because the condition involved a critical brake component and occurred following recall-related service work.

The contact owns a 2015 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V-514000 (Steering); however, the part for the repairs was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable timeframe for the remedy to be available. The contact stated that their husband informed them, and a certified mechanic inspected the vehicle after receiving the recall and noticed that the suspension knuckle had fractured. The vehicle had not been driven. The failure had occurred before and had been repaired at the expense of the contact. The dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the previous repairs were completed correctly and no cause for the failure occurring again was identified. After the failure occurred again and the recall notice was received by another dealer, Land Rover Lakeland, 2550 Interstate Dr, Lakeland, FL 33805, was contacted, and it was confirmed that there was no remedy. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed the remedy was not available, and therefore, reimbursement could not be provided till there was a remedy. The failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding the failure of Land Rover and its authorized dealership network to complete Safety Recall D019 involving the front suspension knuckle crack on my 2015 Range Rover Sport. I received the official recall notice in September 2025. The recall concerns a serious safety defect involving the front suspension system, which presents a substantial risk of loss of vehicle control, crash, injury, or worse. Despite the seriousness of this defect and the passage of many months, the required repair has still not been completed. Since receiving the notice, I have repeatedly contacted the dealership from which I purchased the vehicle, as well as representatives associated with the manufacturer, seeking to schedule the repair. Each time, I have been met with delays, conflicting information, and excuses regarding parts availability. Most recently, I was informed that “tariffs” are allegedly responsible for the inability to provide the replacement parts. This explanation is unacceptable. Federal safety recalls are intended to protect consumers from dangerous defects, and manufacturers have a legal obligation to provide timely remedies once a recall has been issued. It is unreasonable and unsafe for consumers to continue operating vehicles subject to a known suspension defect for months without access to the necessary repair. I am requesting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigate the ongoing delays associated with Recall D019 and determine whether Land Rover is meeting its obligations under federal motor vehicle safety laws. I also ask that appropriate enforcement action be considered as the manufacturer has to provide an adequate and timely remedy to affected vehicle owners. This situation has caused significant frustration and concern as this i my families only vehicle. No vehicle owner should be left indefinitely waiting for repairs related to a serious safety recall.

During my last emissions check I was alerted of a potential recall on my vehicle. When I took the car in for a routing maintenence schedule, I was told that my vehicle was indeed affected with this recall issue. I have since then contacted my local dealer but was told to wait for a updated notification since parts where unavailable. I still have not heard of any news and I don't feel comfortable driving it with this issue. Please correct the issue at least for those vehicles affected now.

My Land Rover, Range Rover has a confirmed cracked knuckle but dealership is unwilling to fix it.

NHTSA ODI 11633690

The right front suspension knuckle cracked and separated from the upper control arm and when the knuckle cracked it damaged the right front axle, right front strut and height sensor. Bear Valley Service (Land Rover specialists) replaced the right front suspension, knuckle, control arm, axle, air spring and height sensor. Fortunately it happened while backing out of my driveway/turning into the street and not while I was driving on the interstate, it could’ve been catastrophic. Also fortunate that it didn’t happen the night before while driving on the interstate. The vehicle was not inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance company. I found out about the NHTSA Recall Number 24V-840 on 12/11/24 so I took my 2015 Range Rover to Land Rover in Atlanta, GA that day. They did not inspect the vehicle, they stated they were waiting on more information regarding the recall. No warnings whatsoever.

Subject: Recall Complaint – Complaint No. 24V840000 / Land Rover Recall N759 Vehicle Information: 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Issue Description: I discovered a crack in the passenger-side steering knuckle of my vehicle, caused by a manufacturing defect where the bolt was over-torqued. This defect risks catastrophic steering failure, potentially leading to a severe accident. While this issue is part of a recall in Canada and similar recalls for other Land Rover models (Discovery Sport, Evoque) exist in the U.S., my vehicle has not been included in the U.S. recall. Service Attempt: Land Rover of Huntington refused to honor the recall, citing my VIN’s exclusion, and quoted over 9,000 for repairs. I escalated the issue to Rey Rodriguez, an executive specialist with Land Rover North America, but was told: "You have reached the highest level within Land Rover North America... your VIN is not part of the recall, and no further reconsideration will occur." Safety Concern: This defect can go unnoticed, putting drivers at risk of steering failure and fatal accidents. Land Rover's refusal to address this known safety issue endangers consumers. Request: I urge the NHTSA to investigate this matter and include the 2015 Range Rover Sport in the recall to ensure driver safety. Attachments: Supporting documents are provided.

The following were sent to JLR for comment - this is a documented safety issue and the fact that they have not made this a recall in the US is appalling - please force their hand. To whom it may concern: Please pass this email to the appropriate person and have them contact me so we can have an intelligent conversation regarding why the exact issue my vehicle is experiencing is recalled in the UK and Canada, but not in the US. This is a well documented failure that JLR is clearly aware of as stated in the attached N759 recall. My vehicle, VIN: [XXX] , is currently at Ray Catena Jaguar of Marlboro for replacement of a cracked steering knuckle, image attached, that JLR is refusing to cover. JLR's liability in this case is black and white. Please call or email at your earliest convenience. [XXX] Best - [XXX] 2nd email: Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss further. An image of my failure and the UK recall notice are attached for reference just in case they did not make it through to you from my initial email. Nobody at the dealership will discuss openly what is clearly a dangerous manufacturer's defect that has already been recognized and addressed in other countries. I encourage you to simply google "L405 knuckle failure" - this is not an isolated incident and a failure at speed could be absolutely catastrophic. I have an aftermarket warranty that thankfully covered most of the cost to replace the cracked knuckle, but they would not replace the driver side as it has not yet cracked. I currently had to pay the following expenses out of pocket to address this issue: $503.66 - balance after 3rd party warranty coverage $382.17 - rental car while car was at dealer for repair INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Both front knuckles found to have cracks in the aluminum casting where the upper control arm mounts to the knuckles. Failure of this portion of the knuckle will result in complete loss of control of the car. This problem is well documented in other L494 and L405 Range Rovers with recalls currently active in other countries where these car were sold. The components have not been inspected by 3rd party as of yet due to safety concerns with transporting the vehicle to locations. No warning lamps or noises were present as there is no way for the vehicle to detect this failure which only occurs catastrophically without warning. Photos attached are of both knuckles with cracks.

After having my vehicle in for service, 64000 mile maintenance, new front brakes and rotors, and new air struts, at Jaguar Land Rover Raleigh, I was inspecting the completed work after driving the vehicle home and noticed a large crack in the front left steering knuckle where it connects to the upper control arm. I immediately called to have the vehicle towed to the shop. If that component had failed while driving the result could have been catastrophic at highway speed. I could have lost control of steering and the wheel could have completely come off causing significant damage and endangering the life of myself and children. This specific component has been recalled by Jaguar Land Rover in both the United Kingdom and Canada for defective parts susceptible to failing. The recall is specifically for MY 15 and 16 Range Rovers. I suspect that this issue may be more prevalent than the VINs covered. The vehicle has been inspected at the dealership and they have not noted that failure modality. There were no other symptoms, faults or warning messages. I am glad I did a thorough visual inspection to cease driving the vehicle immediately.

Both the right and left suspension knuckles were cracked. This represented a potentially very dangerous situation if either knuckle had broken at high speed.

My car has manufacturer defect / crack on steering knuckle. There has been recall in UK and Canada. Why not in states? Driving with crack / defect in steering knuckle is extremely dangerous. It has been proven that this has caused by over tightening the nut bolt. There are so many land rovers have this reported issues.

Car has been babied all its life but I recently started hear creaking and popping noises from front of car. Took it to my local shop as I have extended warranty and they looked and inspected and found that the car has a crack in the steering knuckle and said it is not safe to drive. After we all did some research it looks like most 2014-17 Range rovers like mine had a recall for this problem exactly. Only issue is after calling Land Rover they said my car never had a recall outstanding. Obviously my car is affected. Please advise. The recall number that my vehicle should be eligible for is Safety recall - N759 (Front Knuckle Cracking). I am glad we caught this as my family and Is life could have been in danger if the event of a full failure.

Right-hand (passenger) front steering knuckle cracked while turning in reverse. Not at speed and while parking, so was not a catastrophic failure. However, if had happened on the highway would have been. This exact issue, recorded as a defect in the part, covering the same VIN range as my vehicle is recalled in both the UK and Canada, but not in the US. (LR Recall # N759) This could have been fatal at highway speeds.

NHTSA ODI 11614926

I was made aware of a potential issue with my vehicles steering knuckle breaking where it connects to the upper control arm. I was also informed that Land Rover has done a recall in the UK for this same issue. I checked my vehicle and it does indeed hav a crack in the steering knuckle. This could have caused a catastrophic issue if it had broken completely at any road speed. This needs to be evaluated as soon as possible, before anyone dies.
