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.
What 2017 Land Rover Range Rover owners say
Steering
The contact owns a 2017 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated that while in reverse(R), the steering wheel was turned to the left while reversing down the driveway at approximately 3 MPH, the passenger's side front tire fell into the wheel well. The contact stated there was no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the passenger's side front tie rods, control arm, and ball joint had sheared off from the suspension. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was not diagnosed but determined that the passenger's side front tire suspension control arms needed to be replaced. The contact was aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V514000 (Steering); and was informed by the dealer that the damages to the front passenger's side wheel control arms did not fit the specifics of the recall and that a diagnostic test was needed to determine the cause of the failure. …

Suspension
I am the owner of a 2017 Land Rover Range Rover (VIN: [redacted] ). I recently discovered a crack in the front steering knuckle of my vehicle, which I believe poses a significant safety risk. This type of failure could result in a sudden loss of control, especially at higher speeds or during turns, potentially leading to a serious accident. I am aware that Land Rover issued a recall (NHTSA Campaign Number 24V-840) for a similar defect in the front suspension knuckle affecting 2014-2016 models, but my 2017 model is not currently included in this recall-even though the issue appears identical. Given the nature of the failure and its similarity to the existing recall, I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the recall should be expanded to include additional model years. …
The suspension light came on saying that there is a suspension error "leaning when cornering" in yellow. Also the "suspension fault" light "stop safely stop engine" in red comes on. The arms has been replaced, due to a bend because of the weight. The brakes, rotors and sensors are replaced every 3 months because of the weight wearing down the brakes faster than usual. (AND NO I'M NOT USING AFTERMARKET PARTS ALL PARTS ARE OEM PARTS FROM RANGE ROVER). When I reached out to Range Rover they had no solution or suggestions. The best the representative came up with was park your truck. They don't have the parts. Why are these trucks allowed to be on the road. If that's the case replace the whole truck then. This part thats cracked is a flaw on the companys end and now I am expected to walk away from my vehicle and except the lost. I have been trying to get this part fixed for a year now.
