The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the message "Electrical Battery Charging Fault" was displayed, and the battery warning light was illuminated. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V248000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where the alternator was replaced, and the vehicle was able to start; however, the mechanic determined that the failure was related to an unknown converter. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 61,000.

The contact owns a 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who determined that the CVVL (Continuously Variable Valve Lift) gasket had failed and the CVVL system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.

I was driving when an "Electrical Fault Detected" warning came on. The car's instructions were to pull over as soon as possible, as the car's electrical system was draining the battery and the car could shut down within a few miles. We had the car towed to a repair shop where they ran tests on the car and replaced the battery. This did not fix the issue, and they came back a day later to find the brand new battery had drained. I then had it towed to another repair shop who replaced the alternator but that didn't solve the problem so they had it towed to the dealer. The dealer discovered that the DC converter in the car is bad, but said they have 5 cars in the shop with the exact same problem and the part is backordered without an ETA. I frequently drive late at night or early in the morning between a small town and a city for work. It's 100 miles each way, most of which is either in mountains with poor cell service or an interstate with a speed limit of 80 MpH. During this time of year, the temperatures in this area are often well below freezing. Had this issue happened on one of these drives, I could have very well been stranded with only a few minutes of warning with a high risk of hypothermia or even death. Had it happened on the interstate, the car would have lost complete power, including the steering, endangering not only my life, but my family and anyone else driving nearby. Land Rover has acknowledged in their notifications to dealer service departments that this is a known issue, but they have not issued a recall. I strongly believe this is a HUGE safety risk and that Land Rover should be held accountable for correcting this issue in all affected cars. They are endangering the lives of their customers and anyone who is on the road near Land Rover vehicles. NOTE: The doc provided in this submission is for an alternator change out that was done because of this electrical issue. The DC converter, which is where the true issue is, will be thousands as well.

Oil leak and coolant leak took it to dealership while under warranty and they claimed no issues even though I saw the stains on my garage floor and had gear shift issues and black out info camera as well. Car under 70k miles and not end of warranty date but is the end of warranty mileage. Didn’t feel safe on the freeway, had power loss when it was time to restart the car and had smoke under the hood which may result in a fire in the engine compartment that could spread throughout the vehicle. This issue has led to power loss and difficulty controlling the vehicle, increasing the risk of accidents.

I reported issues with my car stalling, front and rear camera going blank and smoking under my hood, in addition leaking coolant. I immediately requested for the dealership to inspect the vehicle and I smelled coolant and saw the coolant on my garage floor the dealership stated they did not find anything. This occurred during my first oil change at around 6,000 miles. It happed again at the second one as well. I had the same issue when I got my oil changed amongst other issues no issues detected. I went to the dealership to get an oil change and the code P00B0-49 was showing the dealership asked if I wanted to pay $265 to diagnose the vehicle I stated I would not because these issues didn’t happen overnight and there could be potential recalls not addressed when they should have been.

As I was driving my vehicle to my residence, the car lost all power. The engine remained ‘on’, and the engine revved if I pushed the gas pedal, but there was zero acceleration. Fortunately I was able to maneuver/coast to a side street and stop my vehicle safely. I also felt fortunate that no car was following closely behind me which could have created a potential rear-end collision threat. I had very little warning that anything was wrong with the car. Approximately 20 minutes prior to the vehicle losing all power, I was driving to a store and parking in its parking lot. The vehicle warned me to not turn it off and the instrument panel showed a warning of ‘Electrical Fault Detected’. Because the car gave me the message to not turn it off, I decided to drive home. I had no idea the car would suddenly lose all power. I still do not know what ‘Elctrical Fault Detected’ means. When I tried to investigate this fault, I was surprised to see that Land Rover Range Rover Sport models from 2023 and 2024 were recalled for this problem. My vehicle is a 2022, and I did not receive a recall notice.
