What 74 owners told NHTSA about the 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport (7 Seat)

I am writing to formally escalate my concerns regarding an open, unresolved safety recall on my vehicle. I have repeatedly reached out to the manufacturer to get this issue fixed, but I continue to receive nothing but the runaround. According to official safety notices and documentation, this recall involves a critical, high-risk defect. Because this issue is so serious, I am now driving in constant fear, and I completely refuse to take my car on any long-distance trips due to legitimate safety concerns. It is entirely unacceptable that a known, hazardous defect is being left unaddressed. I need an immediate, definitive answer on the exact steps required to get this resolved. Furthermore, because the vehicle is currently unsafe for extended travel, I need to know what immediate accommodations—such as a complimentary loaner vehicle or rental—will be provided while you arrange for a priority repair. I expect a prompt response with a concrete solution.

Filing a complaint about lack of remedy for NHTSA Recall Number 25V-514, manufacture recall number D019. I planned to put this car on Turo to rent, and I cannot list it if it has an active recall. It’s a financial strain for me, and I would greatly appreciate a fix.

I am filing a complaint regarding an unresolved safety recall affecting my 2016 Range Rover Sport TDV6, VIN: [XXX] . This vehicle is subject to Recall D019 (NHTSA Recall 25V-514). Despite the recall being issued, I have contacted the dealership multiple times and have repeatedly been told that the remedy or required parts are not yet available. There has been no clear timeline provided for when the repair will be available. Both the front and rear components associated with this recall on my vehicle appear visibly defective and concerning. This creates a significant safety concern for me as the operator of the vehicle. I rely on this vehicle daily and should not be forced to continue driving a vehicle with known defective safety-related components while waiting indefinitely for the manufacturer to supply parts. A safety recall should include a prompt and effective remedy. The ongoing delay in making repair parts available places vehicle owners and the public at risk and undermines the purpose of issuing a safety recall. I respectfully request that this matter be investigated and that the manufacturer be required to provide a timely repair remedy. Owners should not be left operating vehicles with known safety defects due to delays in recall implementation.

Please see attachment: Dear Mr. [XXX] , Mr. [XXX] , and Federal & State Officials, This email serves as formal legal notice, final demand, and a request for immediate investigation into Jaguar Land Rover North America’s ongoing failure to perform a federally mandated safety recall (NHTSA Recall No. 25V-514, Manufacturer D019) affecting my 2016 Range Rover Sport (VIN ????????????). My authorized Connecticut dealer confirmed that the required parts for the recall are available; however, repairs cannot be scheduled or processed because of Jaguar Land Rover’s corporate system outage following the September 2025 cyber-incident. Jaguar Land Rover publicly acknowledged that it “proactively shut down systems” and that “parts logistics and digital operations were disrupted.” This means the recall failure is not due to part shortages or dealer error it stems directly from the manufacturer’s own IT breach. Because of this failure, my family including my three children continues to use a vehicle known to have a critical suspension defect capable of causing sudden loss of control. Allowing such vehicles to remain unrepaired for months due to internal corporate negligence represents reckless endangerment, breach of warranty, and violation of federal safety law. I am therefore requesting: 1. Immediate federal and state investigation into Jaguar Land Rover North America’s handling of Recall #25V-514 and the extent to which the September 2025 cyberincident has compromised safety-repair operations; 2. Immediate interim remedy, such as a courtesy or replacement vehicle of equal or greater value until the recall is completed; and 3. Written confirmation from Jaguar Land Rover within five (5) business days (by November 6, 2025) detailing the company’s plan to restore system functionality and perform all outstanding safety recalls. Please be advised that failure to act will result in escalation to: NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) for a formal enforcement review; U.S. DOT Office of Inspector General (OIG) for oversight of potential misconduct or concealment; Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for unfair and deceptive practices; and Connecticut Attorney General and Department of Consumer Protection for violation of state consumer-protection statutes. This correspondence will be retained as evidence of notice and non-compliance and shared with regulatory and legal authorities. Please confirm receipt of this message within 24 hours and provide your written response by November 6, 2025. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Unacceptable response by Land Rover to remedy a serious safety recall identified and communicated in late July/early August 2025 in a timely manner! Multiple and contradictory explanations and excuses for the lack of solution and mitigation by both the local dealership as well as the national Land Rover North America corporate representatives. Additional confusion and lack of response is related to similar but separate suspension knuckle recall identifiers: D019 vs N759. Further, the company is not offering any other consideration in the face of the delay other than don't drive or "drive at your own risk"!

Steering knuckle on the driver and passenger side of my vehicle are cracked. Defects have been confirmed by JaguarLandRover Vancouver in British Columbia. I called JLR in Lynnwood, WA and Bellevue, WA as well as JLR North America and have been told the fix has not yet been determined. The fix is to replace the broken parts, this isn't hard to figure out. Now I'm going to have to pay to get this fixed and cross my fingers I get properly reimbursed.

The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the front end of the vehicle was shaking with a knocking sound coming from the driver’s and passenger’s side front wheels. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who diagnosed that the upper front suspension knuckle joint had fractured on the driver’s and passenger’s side. The mechanic informed the contact of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V840000 (Steering); and referred the contact to the manufacturer. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.

While driving on the interstate in good weather on flat even ground the suspension fault warning came on. Maximum speed recommended 30 mph. Pull over, stop the car, turn off the engine and investigate. Car is still at operating height, no blown air suspension components. Get back in, start the car…. No warning, suspension button on console adjusts the suspension to access height, clearance, etc… Driving home it happens again. No DTC readable from my scanner, no idea if it is a sensor or bad connection.
