Because in my past I've had 3 Range Rovers, my last one being the L322. I find them interesting and some of the owners interesting too, the phycology is incredible. I'm a real buy British fan wherever possible and obviously JLR has been a part of that BUT IMHO they have dramatically lost their way and reading about user experiences on here confirms my fears. I just hope and pray they can get their act back on track and produce world beating vehicles here in the UK.

I am sure they are not ignorant enough to use Engineering Blue, but of course it raises a concern.

Mine was booked in for the recall tomorrow but I've just had a phone call to cancel as they can't get the parts as they are now on backorder with no ETA. As p155ed off as I am that they've (Stratstones) waited until 3pm the day before it's due, it does add weight to what I was told that my car is KNOWN to need the new parts.

I booked mine in the same day Kot posted (16 Aug) about the recall for the 11 Sept (first day they had a courtesy car available). I received an email from the dealer on 7th Sept advising the parts have now gone on back order. Now rebooked for 6th Oct. You can't swim uphill in custard all the time, sometimes you just have to go with the flow. |

I've followed this thread for a while and my 2015 car has had both knuckles replaced.

Has anyone seen anything from US. I know Canada had a recall but I am unaware of USA action....Maybe I missed it. |

Almost, but not quite - JLR themselves have used confusing wording in the recall Q&A...... but I'd expect nothing more than a visual check that I could do myself.

Alistair you're quite right for non-affected batches. It confuses the issue, but the point that I think wasn't clear (and I didn't quite articulate) is that no affected batch will be inspected for a crack. It'll be replaced, and the inspection is to confirm if the dodgy batch is fitted.

I expect we’ll never know if there are any cracks on the “good” parts.

My car was booked for the 21 Sept. Dealer has rang and cancelled appointment as no parts available.

Mine is scheduled to be looked at tomorrow. Dealer rang me today and said that the parts are on back order - can he give my number to a car rental company so they can provide me with a car.

Had mine checked (and replaced) today at Marshalls Peterborough, previous appointment canceled due to part availability as per the previous post.
