“Passenger side dashboard has cracking around the airbag system. I took it to three independent upholstery shops and they all decline to perform any repair due to safety/liability concerns. They say it is fairly common for my year/make/model vehicle. I'm fearful that this presents some issues with airbag deployment, or may simply be a design flaw by landrover.”
NHTSA complaint #10643326, filed 2014-10, 89,000 miles“The front passenger occupancy sensor in my 2006 Range Rover intermittently works. When the passenger seat is occupied, 50% of the time the air bag fault light will be illuminated, which means that the passenger airbag, or perhaps all airbags will not deploy in an accident. I was surprised to find out that a few friends with the same car area also having the same issue, and this is not a recall item for Land Rover. …”
NHTSA complaint #10578668, filed 2014-04, 121,000 miles“The passenger side airbag on the dashboard is starting to prematurely split on top of the dashboard surface around the entire outline of the airbag. The crack has progressed in a precious outline of the cutout of the airbag. After contacting Land Rover of america on multiple occasions, they considers this as a wear and tear and they state this will not effect the safety of the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10750402, filed 2015-08, 80,000 miles“Passenger seat occupancy sensor failed which disables the airbag(s), requiring replacement. I know there was a recall on the same part several 2006 bmw models, Land Rover was owned by bmw at the same time and the part replaced has bmw branding on it. Likely it is the same part and should have been included in that recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10298502, filed 2010-01, 58,000 miles“The contact owns a 2006 Land Rover Range Rover hse. The contact stated that the seat belt warning light would not illuminate when the seat belt was not being utilized. In addition, the air bag warning light would also illuminate intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who informed him that the seatbelt would not operate if there was a crash. To repair the air bag failure, the dealer stated they would have to remove the seats and replace the seat sensors. The manufacturer was contacted who offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 62,000.”
