Consumer Description
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 presents. At the same time, they tell me that if I want to fix it as soon as possible, I must pay for the service and that they will reimburse me once they receive the "recall letter." I am currently awaiting information on the cost of the service, but I am doubtful of the dealer's explanation. I'd like to confirm with the NHTSA that this is the correct procedure. My current concern is that the high temperatures will result in a fire caused by a gasoline leak.
