Unknown or Other · reported Jun 3, 2021
the rear differential failure on the LR2 car is only 74,000 miles and the differential need to be replaced, I was reading online about it and several persons complain about. Thank you.
Power Train · at 70,400 miles · reported Jan 28, 2021
Recently began hearing a noise from the rear when driving. Thought it might be from the rear alignment causing the tire tread to make this sound. Driving faster the noise would get louder. Took to my mechanic for alignment and they said it was the rear differential going out. The bearings were making the loud noise. The vehicle only has 70,400 miles and is driven 10 miles a day and never off road. Looked for any recall notice I may have missed and then discovered this same situation from several others. I entered my VIN to check for any recalls and there are none! Surely this vehicle was built…
Power Train · at 83,000 miles · reported Jun 27, 2019
