That’s positive!

Do you mean the unbroken one? Or analysis of the napped one

JLR have requested the broken one. They probably just want to check the serial numbers, who knows..

United Kingdom 2013 Range Rover Vogue SE SDV8 Causeway Grey

I contacted my local dealer and asked about the recall for this.

They said my car had no recalls outstanding. It was first registered on 1 March 2013.

Does that mean it has had it done or is there a very specific range of VINs?

I would be checking myself, as if it does fail, your dealer will absolve themself of any responsibility and you are then left with having to sort it out.

I wouldn't want to be relying on the fact your dealer said it was ok. Lots of examples of cars outside VIN range that have had issues, so unless your a very brave man, I would add it to your check list.

Better to be safe than sorry. Easy to check. Results if it does fail can be pretty scary.

That's just my thoughts.

I’d just like to suggest new readers of this thread read the ENTIRE thread before posting.

There is much discussion about DIY testing kits etc.

I do mine every year.

I passed a BMW today with a similar “Horizontal Wheel” on a small roundabout in the town centre, so these issues are possibly not unique to our marque. V6 Vogue - “Less is More” - less to go wrong!

PLEASE would you also record a serious safety defect with the DVSA to get more pressure on JLR to extend the recall range as cars like yours clearly have the same issue.

United Kingdom 2016 Range Rover SVAutobiography SDV8 Corris Grey

Got both sides on my 2016 outside of vin range replaced without any argument, even got a new o/s driveshaft when they destroyed it removing the knuckle.

On the flipside, other 2016 owners out of vin range have been given a flat no by JLR, not sure what the deciding factors are. L405 SV Autobiography LWB SDV8, finished in Aston Martin China Grey by ETO division.
