SUSPENSION

The safety defect remains unresolved, and my vehicle has been out of service since March 2026. Despite repeated attempts to obtain repairs, the manufacturer has been unable to provide the necessary replacement parts, leaving the vehicle unusable for an extended period of time. I am increasingly concerned about the severity of the defect and the potential safety risks it presents to vehicle occupants and the public. Based on information available through owner forums, dealer communications, and other reports, it appears that this issue may be affecting a significant number of vehicles and may not be an isolated incident. The ongoing inability to repair affected vehicles due to parts shortages raises additional concerns regarding the scope of the problem and the manufacturer's ability to adequately address the defect. Owners are being left without safe, operable vehicles for months while waiting for a resolution. Given the significant safety implications, the extended period my vehicle has remained out of service, the lack of available repair parts, and the apparent volume of similar complaints, I respectfully request that NHTSA reopen its review and conduct a more comprehensive investigation into this matter. Also additional recall that should be issued to the 2021 model: [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SUSPENSION

Vehicle: 2021 Range Rover Sport Component: Suspension – Dynamic Response / Active Roll Control System The vehicle experienced a failure of the Dynamic Response / Active Roll Control system, which is a hydraulic suspension stabilization system designed to reduce body roll and maintain vehicle stability during cornering and evasive maneuvers. Inspection by an authorized Land Rover service center confirmed that the failure was caused by severe corrosion and deterioration of the hydraulic lines supplying the Dynamic Response system. The corrosion caused hydraulic fluid leakage and a complete loss of hydraulic pressure, disabling the system. This failure occurred on a 2021 vehicle, and the amount of corrosion present on these hydraulic lines appears premature for a vehicle of this age. These lines are critical components of the vehicle’s stability system and would normally be expected to last significantly longer. When the Dynamic Response system loses hydraulic pressure, the vehicle loses an important stabilization function that helps control body roll and maintain handling stability. With the system disabled, the vehicle may experience increased body roll and reduced stability during higher-speed cornering or emergency maneuvers, which raises safety concerns. The issue was confirmed by the servicing Land Rover dealer. The dealer diagnosed hydraulic line corrosion and failure resulting in loss of system pressure. The repair is replacement of the front and rear hydraulic lines, refill and bleeding of the hydraulic system, and recalibration of the Dynamic Response system. The estimated repair cost is approximately $10,000. The vehicle is operated in New York State where winter road salt exposure is common. Hydraulic lines associated with a vehicle stability system should reasonably be expected to withstand normal environmental exposure, including road salt, for a longer period of time. Photographs, dealer report, repair estimate are available.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The contact owns a 2021 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated that while his wife was operating the vehicle, the battery indicator warning light was illuminated on the instrument cluster. The following morning, the vehicle failed to start and became inoperable. An independent mechanic initially replaced the alternator; however, the alternator replacement failed to fix the vehicle. Several diagnostic tests confirmed a failure of the DC-to-DC converter. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V683000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) as a possible cause for the failure; however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 31,600.

SUSPENSION

Took my vehicle in for suspension noise and was told the front passenger side steering knuckle is cracked at the upper ball joint mount. There is a current recall for this issue for model years 2014-2017, but not for 2021 models. This issue appears to be greater than originally expected.

The contact stated that the knocking sound was getting louder and louder. The contact stated that the failure occurred while turning. The contact stated that an unknown warning light was illuminated and independently turned off. In addition, the contact stated the sound was like the vehicle was falling apart. The dealer was made aware of the failure; however, the contact was informed that the repair was not covered under warranty. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a failed front driver's side control arm and lower rear guard. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact referenced an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000. The VIN was unavailable.

The contact owns a 2021 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the instrument cluster went blank. The contact stated that the gauges were not visible. The contact stopped the vehicle, turned it off, and restarted the vehicle, and the instrument cluster became functional. The contact stated that the failure occurred at various speeds. Additionally, the turn signal was inoperable, the windows failed to roll down, and the doors could not be opened from the outside. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer however, the dealer was unable to diagnose the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to the same dealer several times for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 37,000.

BACK OVER PREVENTION

The rear liftgate of my vehicle was damaged due to failure of the rear camera as described in Safety Recall N778. Does the manufacturer Land Rover have an obligation to repair the damage due to this occuring?
