NHTSA Complaint #10604656 — 2008 LAND ROVER LR2

SERVICE CALL INITIATED DUE TO HUMMING/GRINDING FROM REAR OF THE VEHICLE FOR WHICH THE PITCH CHANGES WITH THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. LAND ROVER DEALER INDICATES THAT THE COUPLING ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $3642. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, INCLUDING INVOLVEMENT OF THE PINION BEARING/REAR DIFF WITH YEARS 08-12. RESEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS IS, IN FACT, QUITE COMMON THROUGHOUT THE EARLY YEARS OF THE LR2 PRODUCTION LINE OFTEN WITH LESS MILEAGE WITH SERVICE BULLETINS IN PLACE. SAID VEHICLE HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY CARED FOR AND MAINTAINED. THESE ARE COSTLY REPAIRS WITH THE BURDEN OF SUCH PLACED ON UNSUSPECTING LAND ROVER OWNERS. LAND ROVER SHOULD STAND BY THEIR WORKMANSHIP AND SUPPORT THEIR CUSTOMERS IN THESE REPAIRS BEFORE MORE SERIOUS EVENTS OCCUR. *TR
