SUSPENSION
The safety defect remains unresolved, and my vehicle has been out of service since March 2026. Despite repeated attempts to obtain repairs, the manufacturer has been unable to provide the necessary replacement parts, leaving the vehicle unusable for an extended period of time. I am increasingly concerned about the severity of the defect and the potential safety risks it presents to vehicle occupants and the public. Based on information available through owner forums, dealer communications, and other reports, it appears that this issue may be affecting a significant number of vehicles and may not be an isolated incident. The ongoing inability to repair affected vehicles due to parts shortages raises additional concerns regarding the scope of the problem and the manufacturer's ability to adequately address the defect. Owners are being left without safe, operable vehicles for months while waiting for a resolution. Given the significant safety implications, the extended period my vehicle has remained out of service, the lack of available repair parts, and the apparent volume of similar complaints, I respectfully request that NHTSA reopen its review and conduct a more comprehensive investigation into this matter. Also additional recall that should be issued to the 2021 model: [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
At 613 miles, this 2025 Land Rover Range Rover SE experienced simultaneous brake fluid loss from the rear right wheel area, partial loss of engine power, and multiple warning lights including “Stability Control Not Available” and “Restricted Performance.” The vehicle required emergency flatbed towing. DFW Land Rover Dealer inspection identified damage at two points on the brake line near the rear right wheel. The damage shows longitudinal abrasion scoring along the line consistent with chafing against a vehicle component during normal operation, not external impact. The underbody shield in the same area shows no deformation or penetration that would be expected from an external object. The vehicle has been driven only in normal urban conditions with no incidents, off-road use, or known impacts. The dealership has attributed the damage to external influence despite no supporting physical evidence. Warranty coverage has been denied pending escalation to Land Rover North America. A brake line failure of this nature at highway speed could result in catastrophic brake loss and serious injury.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
On the morning of [XXX] my wife was driving her 2025 Range Rover a short distance when an electrical fault came on the dash reading "stop safely Electrical fault detected". Upon turning into our driveway right after that warning came up, a variety of other warnings came on the dash including a transmission overheat warning. The car then started losing electrical functions and as she pulled into the garage. The vehicle was half way in the garage, my wife pressed the park button and tried to exit the vehicle. She was not aware that the park function no longer worked and that the car had completely lost all power and functions. The vehicle began rolling backwards due to the grade of the garage and she had to try to physically stop the vehicle or it would crush her between the door and garage. After attempting to physically stop it she realized she couldn't and jumped back in the car and applied the brakes. Her back was injured in the process of trying to hold the vehicle from rolling. She called me and had to sit in the vehicle for 20 minutes until I could get home to chock the wheels and get her out of the car. Zeigler Land Rover out of Schaumburg is where the vehicle was purchased new in November. When I reached out to them they claimed they never had this issue before. The dealership repeatedly asked my wife and I in seperate text messages "if we could describe where the smoke came from". No smoke was ever seen or reported from either of us. The supplied a Range Rover Sport loaner vehicle a few days after our Range Rover was picked up. They continued to tell me that they have never seen this issue before and are working with Land Rover to try and identify it. On Tuesday [XXX] the loaner vehicle displayed the same message "stop safely, electrical fault detected". She parked the vehicle and hasn't driven it since. The dealership didn't seem concerned with this happening again and brought us yet another loaner. No progress has been made on our car. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFO

SERVICE BRAKES
**Vehicle Information:** 2023 Range Rover (purchased used on December 19, 2025 with approximately 21,000 miles) **Component/System Involved:** Rear braking system (rear brake pads and rotors). The vehicle has experienced repeated premature wear of the rear brakes. The component is available for inspection upon request. **Description of the Failure/Malfunction:** At approximately 25,000 miles, I was informed by the servicing dealership, Land Rover Austin, that the rear brakes required replacement. At that time, I had only driven the vehicle approximately 3,355 miles since purchase. I subsequently learned that the rear brakes had already been replaced once before at approximately 12,000 miles. This indicates two rear brake replacements within 25,000 miles, which is significantly below expected brake life. The dealership service department indicated that this may be due to how the rear braking system engages during turning, particularly in city driving conditions, leading to accelerated wear. This is happening in the newer models, is what I was told. **Safety Risk:** Premature and accelerated brake wear creates a potential safety hazard, including reduced braking performance and increased stopping distance if the condition is not identified and addressed promptly. Because this wear occurs faster than expected, it may not be reasonably anticipated by the driver, increasing the risk of operating the vehicle with degraded braking capability. **Reproduction/Confirmation of the Problem:** The issue has been confirmed by an authorized dealership service department, which identified the rear brakes as worn and requiring replacement at approximately 25,000 miles. **Inspection History:** The vehicle has been inspected by the authorized dealer

SUSPENSION
Vehicle: 2021 Range Rover Sport Component: Suspension – Dynamic Response / Active Roll Control System The vehicle experienced a failure of the Dynamic Response / Active Roll Control system, which is a hydraulic suspension stabilization system designed to reduce body roll and maintain vehicle stability during cornering and evasive maneuvers. Inspection by an authorized Land Rover service center confirmed that the failure was caused by severe corrosion and deterioration of the hydraulic lines supplying the Dynamic Response system. The corrosion caused hydraulic fluid leakage and a complete loss of hydraulic pressure, disabling the system. This failure occurred on a 2021 vehicle, and the amount of corrosion present on these hydraulic lines appears premature for a vehicle of this age. These lines are critical components of the vehicle’s stability system and would normally be expected to last significantly longer. When the Dynamic Response system loses hydraulic pressure, the vehicle loses an important stabilization function that helps control body roll and maintain handling stability. With the system disabled, the vehicle may experience increased body roll and reduced stability during higher-speed cornering or emergency maneuvers, which raises safety concerns. The issue was confirmed by the servicing Land Rover dealer. The dealer diagnosed hydraulic line corrosion and failure resulting in loss of system pressure. The repair is replacement of the front and rear hydraulic lines, refill and bleeding of the hydraulic system, and recalibration of the Dynamic Response system. The estimated repair cost is approximately $10,000. The vehicle is operated in New York State where winter road salt exposure is common. Hydraulic lines associated with a vehicle stability system should reasonably be expected to withstand normal environmental exposure, including road salt, for a longer period of time. Photographs, dealer report, repair estimate are available.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
While traveling from Los Angeles, California to Tucson, Arizona with one passenger, the vehicle experienced a sudden and dangerous loss of multiple critical systems while driving at highway speed. Earlier during the trip the vehicle stopped in Quartzsite, Arizona. When attempting to re-enter the vehicle, the key initially did not unlock the vehicle. The driver contacted Range Rover roadside assistance and asked for guidance, but no explanation or solution was provided. After several attempts the vehicle eventually unlocked and started. Approximately one hour later, while driving eastbound on Interstate 10 at highway speed after dark, a yellow battery warning light appeared on the dashboard. Shortly afterward a red battery warning and a red triangle warning appeared. Within minutes of these warnings, the vehicle suddenly lost propulsion and the transmission shifted into neutral. Immediately afterward, the vehicle lost electrical power and the dashboard and exterior lights went dark. At the same time, steering assistance and brake assist were lost, making it extremely difficult to control the vehicle. The driver had difficulty steering the vehicle and slowing it safely while traveling on a busy highway with heavy truck traffic behind. Because steering assistance and brake assist were lost, the driver had very limited ability to maneuver the vehicle safely. The driver was able to slowly reduce speed and move across several lanes of traffic to the right shoulder of the highway, stopping near Exit 109 (Sun Valley Parkway) on Interstate 10. The vehicle stopped approximately 300 feet before the exit ramp. Because the vehicle had lost electrical power and exterior lighting, the vehicle was difficult for other drivers to see in the dark. Several large trucks passed close to the stopped vehicle. The driver used a mobile phone light to signal the vehicle’s presence and reduce the risk of being struck. The vehicle was later towed to an authorized Range Rover dealership in Tucs

On January 27, 2026, while driving my 2023 Land Rover Range Rover a red warning light came on the dashboard stating "Electric default detected". Following this warning light while driving the vehicle lost power and was unable to drive, steer, or brake. I was able to safely get the vehicle to the side of the road. After having it towed to the Richmond Land Rover of Richmond, VA, the following day the service department indicated the "Epic Inverter/Converter" had gone bad. They also indicated that this is their tenth vehicle just at this dealership of the 2023 Range Rovers that has had the same problem. The fact that the vehicle just suddently loses all power creates a serious safety hazard to drivers.
