STEERING

The contact owns a 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at the dealer for maintenance, the contact requested the independent mechanic to run a diagnostic test on the vehicle. The contact was informed that the steering knuckle was fractured. While an independent mechanic was attempting to remove the steering knuckle, the axle froze and seized in the hub. The contact was informed that the steering knuckle with the axle shaft assembly needed to be replaced. The contact was advised not to drive the vehicle due to the failure. The independent mechanic contacted the dealer to order the parts, and the dealer confirmed that the axle would freeze and seize inside the hub. The axle and steering knuckle were replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V514000 (STEERING); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

AIR BAGS

The air bag light has come on and will not go out. There was a recall 15V093000 Occupant Classification Module Update. Land Rover Baton Rouge states that they can't diagnose the issue because the vehicle is a 2014. I am afraid that I and/or any passengers riding in the vehicle will get hurt or at worst killed from the malfunction.

SUSPENSION

I was having suspension problems when I purchased the vehicle. Took into land Rover proformed a suspension evaluation they made recommendations on what should be fixed I proformed the repairs but when I accelerated a hard knocking on the left side of the vehicle still happened I found a video on YouTube about the staring knuckles failing on my 2014 and decided to check to see if mine had the problem I cleaned both staring knuckles and found the beginning of fracture cracks on both. I called land Rover they said there were no recalls for my vehicle and I called corporate they said I need to bring it in for an inspection and there were no recalls for my vehicle. I will bring it in for inspection. But wanted to make NHTsa aware it's happening to my vehicle as well.
