By System
The 2012 Land Rover LR4 has 3 recalls, the most serious being a panoramic roof that can detach from the vehicle while driving, creating a road hazard and raising the risk of a crash.
The roof adhesive may not have bonded properly during assembly, leaving the entire glass panel loose and able to separate at speed. Separately, a fuel system recall affects LR4 models equipped with 3.0L V6 or 5.0L V8 engines: a flange mounted on the fuel tank can crack and allow fuel to leak, which raises the risk of fire if the leak reaches an ignition source.
