*The thing is i called them today and gave them my vin and they told me they havent being a recall for this car.

My car has the check engine on! and every time i fill the tank to full , the gasoline comes out from the lower part of the car, and theres gas odor!!.

My question is, they told me they are going to call me in two days, if they call me and tell me that my car dosent report that recall or whatever! when i know it has that problem, what should i do?

I live in the DOminican Republic (caribbean) and bougth my car in the USA, and for what ive heard the dealers over here dont replace anything that they havent sold, at least that land rover i guess, call them!!...

soo, please guys help me.

you car needs it, if they are a land rover dealership, they should take care of it. not entirely sure on the dominican part though.

yes but what do i do if they tell me my car is not been call to this recall?..
