2017 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY — Complaint #1861586
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about UNKNOWN OR OTHER filed December 27, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1861586 (ODI reference 11498989) concerns a 2017 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY and was filed on December 27, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 1, 2022. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as unknown or other, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same LAND ROVER DISCOVERY cohort independently describe similar unknown or other failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2017 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I am reporting this issue because after contacting Land Rover Headquarters and was told that they do not recognize this issue as a problem. To add to my complaint is the fact that a lawsuit was brought to the Tennessee District court for this very matter. There is an apparent defect on the windshield, mainly on the passenger side. I just confirmed that the windshield is slightly loose on the passenger side, which leads to water leakage. The vehicle is a 2017 Land Rover Discovery 5 (L462), this problem presents a clear danger as any accident that the car is involved in could lead the vehicle's airbag, on the passenger side, ejecting the windshield - not to mention what would occur on a rollover. I have tried to reach management at both the US and UK offices and they are not available from what I am told. I would mention that these vehicles are a danger and we are told that the brand sells quality. However, it appears to be quite the opposite. I provided a Service Action (N221) detailin
