Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The fuel tank cover has rusted with visible open cracks /breakage through the material. I'm unsure if the actual fuel tank has become affected yet. Safety is at risk if leakage of fuel becomes evident. I have only casually discussed recall notices with my local parts department. No warning lights at this time. Issue was found during a rear brake inspection.”
NHTSA complaint #11772149, filed 2026-10“I have not been able to fill the gas tank completely, and the pump shuts off multiple times during the refuel process every time I pump gas. I have tried different angles, different gas stations, tried to refuel slowly but it stops multiple times.”
NHTSA complaint #11387414, filed 2021-01“The subject vehicle is a 2016 Range Rover and is my daily driver. The vehicle has a carbon steel fuel tank cradle (P/N - LR071011) that has a common failure of the steel cradle that is the only component that holds the fuel tank in place. When the fuel tank cradle corrosion is significant the fuel tank is no longer secured to the vehicle body and the fuel tank can otherwise shift or drop away from the vehicle. The fuel tank cradle on my vehicle is completely corroded through and missing most of the structure necessary to hold the fuel tank in place (see pictures attached). …”

Car has been to dealership 3times and continues light/indicator comes on. Only owner of car and always new highest quality blue DEF used for vehicle. Car stopped while I was on a trip and would not restart while I was in a remote area. Dangerous situation stuck in middle of nowhere as female alone.

NHTSA complaint #11553444, filed 2023-11“My Land Rover is experiencing rusted fuel tank shields. The reason this problem occurs is because of a process called galvanic corrosion. The fuel tank shield is bolted onto an aluminum heat shield, and the pairing of these two different metals accelerates the corrosion. Land Rover has acknowledged this problem.”
