NHTSA Complaint #11595674 — 2015 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER

AS I WAS BACKING OUT MY DRIVEWAY I HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE AND THEN NOTICED THAT MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE HAS COLLAPSED MAKING THE CAR UN-DRIVEABLE. HAD I BEEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A DANGEROUS LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THERE I WAS TOLD THAT RANGE ROVER IN CANADA AND THE UK HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME MALFUNCTION. MY RANGE ROVER HAS ONLY BEEN SERVICE BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND WAS AT LOW MILEAGE FOR THE YEAR OF THE CAR. NEVER HAD ANYONE WHO INSPECTED OR DID WORK ON THE CAR SAW ANY EVIDENCE THAT SOMETHING WAS READY TO BREAK. IT HAS SINCE BEEN REPAIRED AT A COST OF $8031.68. I REPORTED TO LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA THEY HAVE DECLINED TO RECOGNIZE ANY FAULT ON THEIR END AND DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE FOR THE REPAIR WHEN THEY HAVE SEEN THIS IN OTHER COUNTRIES ON MY SAME MODEL AND YEAR. HERE IS THE CANADIAN RECALL #N759 FOR STEERING KNUCKLE COLLAPSED.
