2020 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE — Complaint #2059184
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY filed January 24, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2059184 (ODI reference 11638255) concerns a 2020 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE and was filed on January 24, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 19, 2020. The vehicle had 40,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine and engine cooling:cooling system:radiator assembly, 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 RANGE ROVER EVOQUE cohort independently describe similar engine and engine cooling:cooling system:radiator assembly 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 2020 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER EVOQUE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. The contact stated that there was unknown fluid leaking from the vehicle. There was an unknown amber warning light illuminated. The contact added water to the radiator and the warning light temporarily turned off but illuminated again. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the rear emission battery needed to be replaced. The mechanic noticed a leak inside the vehicle that was flowing onto the onboard computer of the vehicle. The mechanic determined that the windshield wiper box line was the cause of the leak. The water was leaking from panel number one. The leak started at the front windshield to the driver's side window down to the air bag and the hose connected to the windshield wiper box into the firewall pillar and to the rear windshield. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
