2016 LAND ROVER LR4 Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

The contact owns a 2016 Land Rover LR4. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH and attempting to accelerate, the low coolant warning light illuminated, prompting the contact to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway. After a visual inspection of the engine compartment, the contact observed coolant covering the entire engine compartment. The check engine warning light was also illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure; however, the engine and peripherals were replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that a failure with the cooling fan wiring harness caused the viscous fan clutch to seize, resulting in the viscous fan clutch puncturing the radiator. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 61,000.
