“Gas leaking from the flange while driving. Flange was replaced. I would like to report this repair as a concern. I have never owned a vehicle that had a gas leak. I lost my sense of smell 20 years ago and would not have know of the gas smell if my daughter had not made me aware of it. I spoke with the dealer about a potential recall investigation on the flange and they were unaware of any recall investigation. This is a very dangerous issue and should be a recall by Land Rover.”
NHTSA complaint #11388329, filed 2021-01, 80,000 miles“Smell of fuel on the passenger side of vehicle, get noticeably stronger after driving vehicle. After inspecting around the top of the fuel tank I found fuel squirting out of the fuel filter/pump which is seated in the top of the fuel tank. I had gone on line to assisted me in tracking down the issue and found this is a common reported issue. My vehicle only has 111337 miles on the odometer and I noticed a lot of these reported issue are for Land Rover vehicles that have around the same milage.”
NHTSA complaint #11337853, filed 2020-07, 111,337 miles“Smell gasoline and gasoline on ground. Recall exists for fuel tank but informed my model is not covered but the flange must be damaged as car is currently leaking gas. Car is at Range Rover dealership who says not covered but their is an existing safety recall for my 2011 Range Rover Sports”
NHTSA complaint #11692767, filed 2025-10“At the beginning of the year my car started going into limp mode and shutting down. I had it inspected and the purge valve was faulty and I paid to have it replaced in august 2021. In the past month it’s started dying while driving, mostly as I’m pulling up to a stoplight. The engine will sputter and it will completely die while the car is in drive which means I loose controll of the steering wheel even while it’s still moving. I just had it inspected and it’s the same issue, the purge valve I’ve just replaced is stuck closed. …”
NHTSA complaint #11443315, filed 2021-12“SAFETY RECALL N623: Gasoline Fuel Tank Flange Assembly Cracking WHY is this recall not showing when I enter my VIN number here? Vehicle was towed back to house November 24th, 2021 after discovering it was leaking gas all over the Walmart parking lot. I have been smelling gas inside the vehicle and on the outside passenger side of the vehicle for almost 2 months! I saw no visible evidence to prompt concern until November 24th. When I called AAA to have the car towed they asked me to call 911 to clear the car from “risk of explosion” before it could be towed. …”
