While inspecting my vehicle, I discovered a crack on the driver’s side steering knuckle. I’ve learned that NHTSA Recall 24V-840 was issued for this exact issue on full-size Range Rovers. However, the same problem has occurred on my Range Rover Sport (L494), in the identical location. The affected part numbers are LR146347 (front left) and LR146346 (front right), which match those referenced in the existing recall. This is a serious safety concern—I am currently unable to drive the vehicle due to the risk. I’ve attached two photos for reference. One clearly shows a linear crack near the bolt. In the other, you can see the factory-applied green alignment marker is now offset, further indicating a structural failure. I am requesting that a case be opened to investigate including Range Rover Sport (L494) models in this recall. NHTSA Recall: 24V-840 Transport Canada Recall: 2022668 - Land Rover
