Fingers crossed that this newly released recall N759 actually applies widely enough, and that those that have repaired this out-of-pocket will get compensated. JLR-USA have been appalling about this whole situation. The letters I've got from them have been ridiculously condescending and unhelpful.

I’ve only had my vehicle a few weeks and haven’t driven it much but I did a rudimentary check and they seem okay. Today I called to a JLR dealer and they confirmed it was inspected in November last year but she couldn’t tell if anything was done. I’m sure I read somewhere that a culprit is over tightening and the latest JLR technical bulletin has a new torque setting. Does anyone know what this is or maybe would it be a good idea just to back off the nut by 1/8 of a turn? |

Damn! All good points. It would be excellent though if the over tightening thing could be qualified in or out 100% as it might make the made-of-cheese knuckles safer. We need an insider on the forum 😁 |

Even if over-tightening were a thing, loosening may do nothing if the metal has already been stressed beyond its elastic limits, the damage would then already be there, ticking away……. V6 Vogue - “Less is More” - less to go wrong! |

Appears US recall will not be announced until 3rd January 2025 with over 16,759 vehicles affected. Apparently waiting for parts.
