Several reports point to timing chain and variable cam timing actuator failures as the underlying event, with the engine simply stopping and requiring a tow. A handful of owners also mention the engine entering a reduced-power mode during normal driving. The powertrain and fuel system categories add a smaller cluster of reports: a couple of owners describe the fuel tank refusing to accept a full fill, with fuel spitting back during refueling and fill-ups taking significantly longer than normal.

2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport Recalls

The 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport has 5 recalls, the most serious being a transmission wiring defect that can cause the vehicle to drop unexpectedly into neutral, cutting drive power and raising the risk of a crash.

The transmission issue stems from wire harness connections that may not have been properly crimped, which can interrupt the signal controlling gear selection. When this happens while driving, the vehicle loses forward or rearward drive force without warning, leaving the driver to manage a coasting vehicle in live traffic. On the steering side, vehicles operated or registered in regions with heavy winter road salt use, including several Canadian provinces, face a separate concern: the bolts securing the power steering gear's electric assist motor to the gear housing can corrode and fracture. If those bolts fail, the assist motor may separate from the steering gear, which can make steering significantly heavier or cause the driver to lose the power assist entirely. The remaining two recalls cover the same basic problem and are treated as one issue: the rear license plate lamp housing can fall out, leaving the plate unlit at night and making the vehicle harder to identify from behind in low-light conditions.

What can fail

In vehicles used in heavy road salt areas, the bolts holding the power steering motor to the gear housing can rust and break. This allows the motor to shift, making the belt slip and reducing power steering assistance.
