Default 11k V8 2022 just blew a rod

Strange. On a road trip with my truck could not access oil level and there's no dipstick. No warning lights. Threw a rod. Replacement engine is under warranty. Land rover Jacksonville is good. The manager Kevin is a good dude. Looking forward to a new engine...may take a couple of months. Stay tuned

Sorry about your engine. I wonder what caused the issue with the rod. These engines have been around for a good while and they have been pretty reliable. Probably a bad apple, I hope. Keep us posted on your findings.

Was the engine oil level okay when it was checked by the dealer after the engine failed?
