Land Rover is recalling more than 111,000 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SUVs from the 2010 through 2016 model years and Land Rover LR4 SUVs from the 2010 through 2016 model years because their fuel tanks may crack. This could possibly result in a fuel leak. The vehicles involved in the recall are equipped with either the 3.0-liter V6 or 5.0-liter V8 gasoline engines.

According to the automaker, customers may notice a fuel odor, see an amber warning light in the instrument cluster, and/or notice fuel on the ground. In some circumstances there is the possibility that vehicle static could be an ignition source for the leaking fuel, leading to a fire.

When customers reported this issue to their Land Rover dealers, technicians found that the fuel outlet flange on the fuel tank had cracked.

Land Rover says that owners who have already paid to have this defect repaired will be covered by the Land Rover reimbursement plan.

The Details

Vehicles recalled: Approximately 111,000 vehicles, including 2010-2013 Range Rover Sport SUVs (56,121 vehicles) and 2010-2016 Land Rover LR4 SUVs (55,555 vehicles).

The problem: The fuel outlet flange that is mounted on the fuel tank may crack. This could result in fuel leaking from the tank.

The fix: Land Rover dealers will replace the fuel outlet flange with one of a revised design, free of charge.

Any updates on this? Main dealer insists this recall remains on indefinite hold due to lack of parts availability.

 

Finally heard back from JLR customer care and indeed they have no ETA on parts. They will send out a second recall letter once parts are stocked with main dealers.

 

Anyone know if you've already paid to have the work done how to get reimbursed?

 

I had no choice but to do mine now. I spoke with JLR and they said they would consider it on a case by case basis with no guarantee of reimbursement. You must have all documentation available to submit AND the documentation, repair procedures and parts used MUST conform to JLR's recall standards. The problem's JLR have no availability of recall conforming parts. I purchased mine from the OE supplier, Continental VDO. It was an updated design however I've no idea if further revisions are being done.
