What 2016 Land Rover LR4 owners say
Engine & cooling
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. …
I exited the highway and the vehicle was smoking. I traveled another 100 feet and the vehicle completely shut off. Smoke was pouring out of the engine compartment. I exited the vehicle and about a minute later the vehicle caught fire.

I had done a safety recall repair 'RECALL N623 FUEL TANK' on my 2016 Land Rover LR4 Landmark edition (32,051 miles) on 6-19-2022 at LAND ROVER PASADENA, 3485 East Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91107. Few days after they did the free recall fix I got the below error code 'P0442, Evaporative Emission system leak' that the dealership claims is not related to the recall fix that they did and wants to charge me $250 just to evaluate the issue. But I'm 100% certain this leak is some thing they didn't seal properly at the time of the recall. I'm very unhappy of the outcome and hope I can get this issue fixed without spending any money as before the recall I had no errors what so ever in this car and all started after the free recall fix.
