The 2022 repair to address NHTSA Safety Recall Number: 21V-635 - Gasoline Fuel Tank Flange Assembly Cracking was inadequate and led to a fuel pump crack that we are now having to repair in January 2025, after a routine check indicated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. We transport three school-aged children in our vehicle and was told by a mechanic that the car was unsafe to drive and could blow up if we continued to drive it. My husband had the vehicle towed and contacted Land Rover, since we previously had it repaired and continued to experience the issues other drivers complained about even after the repair, including fuel odor, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp illuminating and liquid fuel on the ground. Land Rover indicated that the repair from 2022 was adequate and refused to remedy the fuel tank leak. The cost for the repair is $1700.
