Timin Chain Maintenance Question
Hello All,
I have a 2014 Range Rover Sport SCV8. At the moment I have 76k trouble free miles. I am OCD about keeping up on the maintenance to ensure it's running properly. I have been searching around for information on when I should expect to do some maintenance on the timing chain but have not found anything. I just had a routine service where my SC belt was changed and other items done. The thing that makes me nervous is the amount of negative comments about the timing chain going bad and the engine being destroyed without warning. Anyways I dont have the background knowledge many of you have so I thought I would ask.
Thanks..

JUST posted this in the LR4 forum...
Seeing JUST NOW that our 2014 LR4 engine failure finally makes sense!
"July 10, 2021 — A Land Rover timing chain lawsuit settlement has been reached between the automaker and the plaintiff who filed the class action lawsuit.
The original timing chain lawsuit was filed in 2018 and included several Jaguar and Land Rover models. But the proposed settlement includes only 2012-2014 Land Rover LR4 and Land Rover Range Rover Sport vehicles.
According to the class action lawsuit, the Land Rover timing chains, timing chain tensioners, tensioner levers and 5-liter direct injection engines can fail due to defects."
