Fuel system complaints center on fuel leaking from underneath the vehicle while parked, along with a persistent fuel odor after filling the tank. Electrical complaints include a sudden loss of power while driving with no warning lights, leaving the vehicle unable to restart. The fuel leak and odor pattern shows up across more than one report, with owners noting the smell returning consistently after each fill-up.

By System
The 2015 Land Rover LR4 has 5 recalls, the most serious involving an engine that can seize without warning due to a loose connecting rod, a wheel that can detach if lug nuts crack and fall away, and a fuel tank flange that can crack and leak fuel near an ignition source.
On the safety systems side, two recalls address the same underlying problem: an ABS software error can disable the electronic stability control, traction control, roll stability control, and hill descent control. On certain vehicles equipped with a front center console cooled cubby box, a related fault can also trigger this condition at the next startup. In either case, losing these systems reduces the vehicle's ability to maintain control during hard braking, cornering, or descending a steep grade.
