What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 1992 Land Rover Range Rover, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Fuel system
Reports naming fuel storage or delivery — tanks, pumps, lines, injectors and fuel leaks.
From owner reports, verbatim
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REFUELED, FUEL LEAKED OUT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LEAK WAS DETECTED ONLY WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE WAS AT THE FULL MARK. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT AN ODOR OR FUEL WAS DETECTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE MAY BE DUE TO A VENT HOLE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,000.
MY 1992 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER HAS A STRESS CRACK IN THE TOP OF THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK, IDENTICAL TO THE RECALL FOR 1993-95 RANGE ROVERS UNDER NHTSA #04V20300. LAND ROVER CAN'T TELL ME WHY THE 1992 VEHICLES ARE NOT COVERED. GAS NOW POURS OUT OF TANK ONTO THE GROUND DURING FILL-UP. I WANT COVERAGE OF THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL DESIGN FLAW UNDER THE SAME PARAMETERS AS NHTSA RECALL #04V20300. *NM
