My Land Rover, Range Rover has a confirmed cracked knuckle but dealership is unwilling to fix it.

- Arlington, VA, USA

The right front suspension knuckle cracked and separated from the upper control arm and when the knuckle cracked it damaged the right front axle, right front strut and height sensor. Bear Valley Service (Land Rover specialists) replaced the right front suspension, knuckle, control arm, axle, air spring and height sensor. Fortunately it happened while backing out of my driveway/turning into the street and not while I was driving on the interstate, it could-??ve been catastrophic. Also fortunate that it didn-??t happen the night before while driving on the interstate. The vehicle was not inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance company. I found out about the NHTSA Recall Number 24V-840 on 12/11/24 so I took my 2015 Range Rover to Land Rover in Atlanta, GA that day. They did not inspect the vehicle, they stated they were waiting on more information regarding the recall. No warnings whatsoever.

The following were sent to JLR for comment - this is a documented safety issue and the fact that they have not made this a recall in the US is appalling - please force their hand. To whom it may concern: Please pass this email to the appropriate person and have them contact me so we can have an intelligent conversation regarding why the exact issue my vehicle is experiencing is recalled in the UK and Canada, but not in the US. This is a well documented failure that JLR is clearly aware of as stated in the attached N759 recall. My vehicle, VIN: [XXX], is currently at Ray Catena Jaguar of Marlboro for replacement of a cracked steering knuckle, image attached, that JLR is refusing to cover. JLR's liability in this case is black and white. Please call or email at your earliest convenience. [XXX] Best - [XXX] 2nd email: Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss further. An image of my failure and the UK recall notice are attached for reference just in case they did not make it through to you from my initial email. Nobody at the dealership will discuss openly what is clearly a dangerous manufacturer's defect that has already been recognized and addressed in other countries. I encourage you to simply google "L405 knuckle failure" - this is not an isolated incident and a failure at speed could be absolutely catastrophic. I have an aftermarket warranty that thankfully covered most of the cost to replace the cracked knuckle, but they would not replace the driver side as it has not yet cracked. I currently had to pay the following expenses out of pocket to address this issue: $503.66 - balance after 3rd party warranty coverage $382.17 - rental car while car was at dealer for repair INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

After having my vehicle in for service, 64000 mile maintenance, new front brakes and rotors, and new air struts, at Jaguar Land Rover Raleigh, I was inspecting the completed work after driving the vehicle home and noticed a large crack in the front left steering knuckle where it connects to the upper control arm. I immediately called to have the vehicle towed to the shop. If that component had failed while driving the result could have been catastrophic at highway speed. I could have lost control of steering and the wheel could have completely come off causing significant damage and endangering the life of myself and children. This specific component has been recalled by Jaguar Land Rover in both the United Kingdom and Canada for defective parts susceptible to failing. The recall is specifically for MY 15 and 16 Range Rovers. I suspect that this issue may be more prevalent than the VINs covered. The vehicle has been inspected at the dealership and they have not noted that failure modality. There were no other symptoms, faults or warning messages. I am glad I did a thorough visual inspection to cease driving the vehicle immediately.

Car has been babied all its life but I recently started hear creaking and popping noises from front of car. Took it to my local shop as I have extended warranty and they looked and inspected and found that the car has a crack in the steering knuckle and said it is not safe to drive. After we all did some research it looks like most 2014-17 Range rovers like mine had a recall for this problem exactly. Only issue is after calling Land Rover they said my car never had a recall outstanding. Obviously my car is affected. Please advise. The recall number that my vehicle should be eligible for is Safety recall - N759 (Front Knuckle Cracking). I am glad we caught this as my family and Is life could have been in danger if the event of a full failure.

Right-hand (passenger) front steering knuckle cracked while turning in reverse. Not at speed and while parking, so was not a catastrophic failure. However, if had happened on the highway would have been. This exact issue, recorded as a defect in the part, covering the same VIN range as my vehicle is recalled in both the UK and Canada, but not in the US. (LR Recall # N759) This could have been fatal at highway speeds.

I was made aware of a potential issue with my vehicles steering knuckle breaking where it connects to the upper control arm. I was also informed that Land Rover has done a recall in the UK for this same issue. I checked my vehicle and it does indeed hav a crack in the steering knuckle. This could have caused a catastrophic issue if it had broken completely at any road speed. This needs to be evaluated as soon as possible, before anyone dies.

- Mechanicsville, VA, USA

The vehicle has significant cracks in both front end knuckles. This appears to be an issue in 2014-2016 L405 models. Both the Canadian and UK authorities have issued recalls for this issue. Fortunately I discovered this issue before complete failure as I came across a video highlighting this issue on YouTube. The channel is called -??LR Time-??. The vehicle had been in for a state inspection and suspension work twice in the last two months and the JLR dealership failed to identify the issue either time

As I was backing out my driveway I heard a loud pop noise and then noticed that my front drivers side tire has collapsed making the car un-driveable. Had I been driving at high speed it could have resulted in a dangerous life threatening situation. It was towed to the dealer for inspection. There I was told that Range rover in Canada and the uk had been recalled for the same malfunction. My Range rover has only been service by an authorized dealer and was at low mileage for the year of the car. Never had anyone who inspected or did work on the car saw any evidence that something was ready to break. It has since been repaired at a cost of $8031.68. I reported to Land Rover North America they have declined to recognize any fault on their end and did not provide any assistance for the repair when they have seen this in other countries on my same model and year. Here is the Canadian recall #N759 for steering knuckle collapsed.

My 2015 range rover had a catastrophic failure of the driver side steering knuckle while underway. This caused me to lose control of the vehicle and the wheel almost fell off the car. Fortunately, I was going less than 30 mph. The failure was caused by the regular application of brakes approaching an intersection. Without the support of the steering knuckle the wheel has no support and the steering and braking are compromised. The vehicle is currently at the landrover dealership in Bedford NH and has been inspected and the repair is estimated to cost 7900. An additional 3000 to replace the passenger side steering knuckle as well. There were no warning lamps or signs of the failure prior to the incident. The car has very low mileage for age and is exceptionally well maintained. Upon further investigation I discovered that hundreds of owners around the world and in the USA have experienced the same random failure on their 2015 model Range Rover. Both Landrover Canada and Land rover UK have issued safety recalls(N759 recall number) for the same year and model of my vehicle. Land Rover USA has not issued a recall and I think this is a major safety issue for this vehicle. The NHTSA should look into this. Clearly there was a bad batch of parts in the 2015 year and they have subsequently redesigned the parts. I've uploaded a couple of example letters for the international recalls. Yes the part is available for inspection or you can google it and see 100s of similar failures.

Front right knuckle cracked and separated from upper control arm ball joint causing front lower control arm ball joints to fail and inner CV axle joint to separate and also cause damage to air spring. The part failure occurred while I was driving and the vehicle lost all control. I feared greatly for my safety and if I were on a highway, I could've crashed into other vehicles. The manufacturer has recall campaigns for this exact issue in the UK and Canada, but not the US. The vehicle was repaired at a manufacturer dealer at my expense. The manufacturer is aware of the problem with my vehicle. There were no warning lights or signs whatsoever. The part fails without warning.

Iam writing to express my deep concern regarding safety recall N759v2 issued for 2014-2016 Range Rover L405 vehicles in the United Kingdom and Canada. It has come to my attention that this safety recall has not yet been formally announced for the same vehicles in the United States. I am the owner of a 2015 Range Rover HSE, with the VIN: [XXX]. As a responsible vehicle owner, I prioritize the safety and well-being of myself, my passengers, my children, and fellow road users. The lack of a safety recall announcement for the same vehicles in the United States has raised concerns about the safety of my vehicle. Given the seriousness of safety recalls and their potential impact on public safety, I have contacted Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC to issue a recall in the USA to conduct a thorough inspection of my vehicle to ensure it meets the required safety standards. I believe it is crucial to take proactive steps to address any potential safety issues promptly and to ensure the safety of all individuals on the road. My attempts to contact JLR have been unsuccessful despite a number of USA based vehicles falling in the VIN range having failed steering knuckles. I would appreciate it if you could schedule an inspection at the soonest available date and communicate the details to me. Additionally, if any safety-related concerns are identified during the inspection, I request that appropriate actions be taken to rectify them in compliance with the highest safety standards. I am including comprehensive details about the safety-related recall to elaborate further on this matter. Threads on this matter are widely available online: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The Land Rover dealership inspecting my vehicle for routine service, found that both front spindles (right and left) had significant fatigue cracks in the metal of the front spindle assembly. The dealership stated it was a critical safety issue, and the entire front spindle assembly could break off or detach from the car while driving. The dealership will not allow the car to be driven in this condition. This vehicle has only 38,350 miles on it, and it is exclusively used for commuting between home and work. It has never been used off-road or in any improper manner. The metal (aluminum) used to forge the factory spindle assembly is defective and will prematurely crack under the weight of the vehicle and poses an immediate and potentially fatal danger to the driver and occupants.
