Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Mar 9, 2026
I am writing to formally request a review of my vehicle for inclusion in NHTSA Recall 21V-635, issued May 11, 2022, concerning fuel leaks at the fuel tank flange assembly. My vehicle is a 2012 Land Rover LR4, VIN [XXX] . Although my local Land Rover dealer has informed me that my VIN is not currently included in the recall population, my vehicle is experiencing the exact condition described in the recall notice — a fuel leak originating from the fuel outlet flange mounted on the fuel tank. The recall letter for 21V-635 states that all Land Rover LR4 vehicles model years 2010–2016 are…
Fuel System, Gasoline · at 133,000 miles · reported Apr 25, 2025
The contact owns a 2012 Land Rover LR4. The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle started leaking fuel. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V635000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was not contacted. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that there was rust on it and declined to repair the vehicle. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made…
Engine · reported Oct 13, 2022
My 2012 LR4 engine completely seized on the highway in July 2022 while I was traveling at 75mph. I was incredibly lucky to be in the right hand lane (after passing 2 large trucks) when I heard and felt the extremely abrupt "clunk" come from the engine. The red engine light came on and my LR4 no longer worked. I had to veer off the highway and coast onto the grass. Had I been in the left hand lane still when this happened, the outcome for me and multiple others on the highway that day would not have been good. My Land Rover dealer (where my car was towed back to) confirmed engine failure. They…
Fuel System, Gasoline · at 154,062 miles · reported Jun 10, 2022

The contact stated the service engine soon warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed that the fuel tank, cover, and seal needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V635000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer and made them aware of the issue.

Fuel/Propulsion System · reported May 19, 2022
My car has a strong gasoline odor when I drive it as well as when I turn it off and park it. However, especially when parking. In addition, after refueling, the fuel gauge lags for a few minutes in terms of fuel level. As a result of these events, I searched online for vehicle recalls and came across the information on your page. As you suggested, I contacted the authorized Land Rover dealer. After multiple communications and several attempts to schedule an appointment to address the issue, they inform me that they do not currently have the parts in stock to address the issue that the vehicle…
