NHTSA defect investigations
Federal safety investigators have looked into 4 possible defects involving the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque:
Loss of Brake Power Assist
On December 1, 2018, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation PE18-014 to investigate allegations of brake vacuum pump failure in model year (MY) 2012 through 2014 Range Rover Evoque vehicles. During PE18-014, ODI identified 33 complaints and field reports related to the alleged defect in the subject vehicles.
Powered vehicle rollaway
On December 16, 2016, ODI opened PE16-015 to investigate seven complaints alleging incidents of powered rollaway in model year (MY) 2012 through 2014 Land Rover/Range Rover Evoque and Jaguar XF vehicles. The complaints all alleged that the rollaway incidents occurred after the operators shifted to Park and exited the vehicle with the engine left running.
Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture
From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited.
Loss of Brake Power Assist
On August 31, 2020, ODI upgraded PE18-014 to Engineering Analysis (EA)20-001 to continue its investigation of brake vacuum pump failures in model year (MY) 2012-2013 Range Rover Evoque vehicles and peer Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) products equipped with 2.0L GTDI engines fitted with Magna vacuum pumps.

The vehicle was restarted, and the contact was able to pull over safely. The check engine warning light was illuminated.

Fuel & propulsion system
The contact owns a 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the vehicle failed to properly accelerate while shifted into driver(D) or reverse(R), with the "Transmission Fault, Select Park Before Engine Stop" messages. The vehicle was initially taken to an independent mechanic where both the fuel tank and an unknown battery piece were replaced; however, the failure persisted. Since the initial failure, the vehicle had been towed to various independent mechanics where the battery was replaced. Soon after the repair, the failure would return. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V635000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) which was linked to the failure. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.
There is a gasoline leak which could be seen on the right rear underside of my vehicle (there is an exposed tank-like looking component saturated with gasoline) which can be easily ignited and cause a fire whether the car is running or parked. My vehicle is with the dealer at the moment being looked at. The dealer told me a flange connected to the fuel system and fuel pump was cracked (for no apparent reason, it just failed) which causes the leak. The dealer said this is a known problem on the range rover sport and LR4 models of certain year span and a recall is currently going on for those models BUT NOT on my model vehicle. I noticed smell of gasoline and saw the leak some time in January 2022. According to my research on NHTSA website there is another vehicle of this same model located in Apopka Florida with the same problem as mine. …

Similar to those issues identified in Open Investigation EA 20-001, I was driving two boy scouts to camp when my vehicle's brakes no longer worked. The brake pedal was firm and vehicle would not slow down almost resulting in a catastrophic crash on Interstate 95. Was able to veer off the road into the shoulder and up a ramp with a hill to slow down to safety. Vehicle is currently at dealer for diagnostics and repair.
