Did my crack test yesterday, happy to say positive results both sides, well worth the £15 on eBay, enough in the kit to do loads of tests, I plan on doing one every Summer, given propagation takes a long time, and it’s an “unaffected” 2017 model. The test products clean off completely afterwards with brake cleaner:

Just saw a 2017 with the cracks on a Facebook group. He submitted a complaint to NHTSA as he’s in the US. Hoping for a recall! The more complaints filed, the more likely that is. https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem Last edited by ash83 on 18th Aug 2024 6:09pm. Edited 1 time in total |

Anyone have a crack test recommendation available in the US?

No crack detection spray needed for mine, vehicle falls into the vin range, but for some reason it's not in the LR database for the recall (wondering if SVO vehicles have slipped through the net). Just started the battle with LR CRC and will keep you posted with how I get on.
