The fuel tank protective shield underneath my vehicle has severely rusted and corroded, with visible perforations forming through the metal (photos attached). This shield protects the fuel tank from road debris and also helps secure the tank to the vehicle. The corrosion appears to be caused by galvanic corrosion: the steel fuel tank shield is bolted directly to an aluminum heat shield, and the contact between these dissimilar metals accelerates corrosion of the steel component. This is a known issue affecting numerous vehicles of this make and model, suggesting a design defect. Safety concerns: The shield is structural — it helps hold the fuel tank in place. Continued deterioration could compromise the tank's mounting and lead to the tank dropping or shifting. As the shield fails, the fuel tank itself becomes exposed to road debris that could puncture it, creating a fuel leak and fire hazard. There were no warning lights, messages, or symptoms inside the vehicle. The damage was only discovered during a visual inspection underneath the vehicle. The component is available for inspection upon request. UNKNOWN whether the manufacturer has issued any formal acknowledgment, but the failure pattern is consistent across many owner reports.
NHTSA complaint 11735838The steel fuel tank shield and mounting cradle assembly on my Land Rover Range Rover (L405) is experiencing catastrophic structural failure due to excessive corrosion. This appears to be a result of galvanic corrosion between the steel cradle and the aluminum chassis components. The corrosion has caused the metal straps and support brackets to rot through completely, compromising the physical security of the fuel tank. This poses an unreasonable safety risk, as the fuel tank is no longer properly supported and is at risk of detaching from the vehicle while in motion. Furthermore, the jagged, rusted edges of the failing shield are in direct contact with the fuel tank, creating a potential puncture hazard and subsequent fire risk. This is a known structural defect within the L405 community, often resulting in immediate vehicle grounding during safety inspections due to the risk of fuel system detachment.
NHTSA complaint 11732164I was driving on the highway during heavy rain and there was a huge leak coming through the window in the backseat started dripping all over the seat and all over the seatbelts spreading above head into the front. I immediately pulled over because it scared me. I was scared it was going to continual leaking into the front steering and airbags
NHTSA complaint 11726620Driving down the road and the vehicle lost all fuel pressure and engine shut off in the middle of the road. Turns out to be a catastrophic Bosch CP4 failure. Thankfully I was not on the highway otherwise this likely would've caused an accident because besides steering and brakes i had no way to get the car out of the road and probably wouldn't have made it to the shoulder on the 5 lane highway. My safety was put at risk by having to sit on a busy road unable to move the car hoping no one came up and hit me. The issue has been confirmed by my independent service center. The component has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance or anyone else besides my mechanic. The battery light and check engine light came on approximately 2 seconds before the car died in the road. Other than than that no symptoms
NHTSA complaint 11717594The rear gas tank has started to rust and creates a safety issue since the metal shield is a different material it creates a galvazing effect on the metals due to them being seperate materials
NHTSA complaint 11713206Dealership reported at last service that the metal guard plate protecting the fuel tank is rusting and poses a safety hazard. This is a known defect with this model/vehicle.
NHTSA complaint 11712737“Gearbox Fault” error popped on dash. Vehicle stopped changing gears while driving. Went into limp mode. Toward to Land Rover dealership. Technician states that there is a fault inside the TCM module within the transmission. Which caused the transmission to fail.
NHTSA complaint 11650671Saw a recall for coolant lines on other land rover models but they have the same engine as my model. Land rover says my vin is not covered but it is doing exactly the same thing as the recalled models. I am losing coolant and can smell it through the vents into the cabin. I believe the issue extends beyond the initial models they stated. I believe it is a common issue with these particular engines. The 5.0L and the 3.0L.
NHTSA complaint 11634085All four doors either are not locking when i lock the doors or they are not unlocking when i hit the unlock button. This cause the door to appear closed while not fully latched, potentially opening while driving. There is already a recall for this issue for my year and model but my VIN is not on the list.
NHTSA complaint 11627829I own the above Land Rover Range Rover. While driving on the highway I heard a loud pop and then found that the interior glass panel of the sunroof was completed shattered into thousands of pieces. The sunroof is composed of two pieces of glass. The exterior glass was not affected. I did nothing to cause this to occur. I found reports online of similar occurrences. The sunroof was inspected by my local Range Rover dealer in Jackson, MS who had no explanation of how this happened or could happen. I was told I would be responsible for the repair. It has yet to be repaired.
NHTSA complaint 11598009The "3rd" brake light on Range Rovers, which are mounted under/on the SUV's rear spoiler, can detach and fly off at highway speeds, especially if any level of vibration is encountered. This high, center-mounted brake light is merely held in place with smooth clips that rely on friction to fasten them; there are no bolts, screws, pins, or even adhesive to securely fasten it. It can easily be removed from its frame (the rear spoiler) with just a slight amount of force. This is, in my opinion, a hazard to other drivers who may be following behind these SUVs.
NHTSA complaint 11579692Placed car into park by moving gare dial from drive to Park. Got out of car and car started moving back and I was knocked down by the door and dragged by the car on the driveway. Suffered torn shin with 7 stiches to muscle and 14 stiches, broken foot and lacreations all over the back. 13 year old in the car pushed the off button to turn car off.
NHTSA complaint 11532323The contact owns a 2019 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked it shifted to reverse, rolled away, and dragged the contact down the street, and crashed into a fence. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact sustained swelling and pain due to the crash and medical attention was provided. There was no fire, air bag deployment or a police report filed. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000.
NHTSA complaint 11429769While driving on a clear day on a Virginia State Highway at about 50 mph on Sunday, May 16, 2021, my wife and I heard and felt a very loud explosion as if the car had been hit by a very large object. We observed no immediate damage, saw no debris bounce off the car and the car that was closely following us made no evasive movements as if there was debris in their path. We stopped within a few hundred yards and noticed that the rear 10 inches or so of the moonroof had simply exploded. The glass was buckled up and shattered. We were not injured and the car functioned normally. We are taking it to the Range Rover dealer this morning and they advise me it is not covered by the warranty. My insurance company, USAA, will most likely pay the cost of repair, which is estimated at $5500. I am convinced this was caused by a defect in the glass or faulty design or manufacture. In my view, this is a serious defect with the potential to cause serious injury.
NHTSA complaint 11417730I EXPERIENCED AN UNINTENDED POWERED ROLLAWAY. SPECIFICALLY, AS I WAS REVERSING OUT OF MY GARAGE, I NOTICED SOMETHING ON THE GROUND SO I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO PICK IT UP. WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE, I WAS STANDING IN THE WEDGE BETWEEN THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE OPEN DRIVER'S DOOR, AND THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY ROLLED IN REVERSE. I DID NOT HEAR OR SEE ANY WARNINGS AT ANY TIME THAT ALERTED ME THAT I WAS IN ANY DANGER. I QUICKLY TRIED TO GET BACK INTO THE CAR TO STOP IT (MY 4-YR-OLD SON WAS INSIDE) AND, WHEN TRYING TO GET BACK IN, I WAS PUSHED OUT, FELL TO THE GROUND, AND FOUND MYSELF FIGHTING WITH THE DOOR AND THE TIRE COMING TOWARD MY HEAD AND BODY. I STUCK MY RIGHT HAND INTO THE CAR TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH MY HAND. ULTIMATELY, MY RIGHT HAND FELL OUT OF THE CAR, AND THE CAR ROLLED OVER AND CRUSHED IT. THE DRIVER'S DOOR HIT MY HEAD, WHICH CAUSED A CONCUSSION AND BLEEDING. THE CAR DRAGGED ME FROM THE GARAGE INTO THE DRIVEWAY, CAUSING TIRE BURNS AND SCRAPES ON MY BODY. ULTIMATELY, THE CAR STOPPED WHEN IT ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND HIT A POST ACROSS THE STREET. I WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL IN AN AMBULANCE, WHERE THEY RAN MULTIPLE TESTS ON MY ENTIRE BODY AND DIAGNOSED MY CONCUSSION AND BROKEN HAND. I HAVE SINCE HAD TO UNDERGO RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY ON MY RIGHT, DOMINANT HAND AS THE BONES IN MY HAND WERE CRUSHED BY THE VEHICLE'S TIRE.
