Land Rover Range Rover: Fuel May Leak
Land Rover is recalling approximately 9,222 vehicles from multiple models (Range Rover, Discovery, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Sport, Discovery Sport, and Range Rover Velar) due to inconsistent brazing of fuel rail end caps that may fail to seal properly. This defect can cause fuel vapor and liquid fuel to leak into the engine bay over time. The remedy is to replace the fuel rail with a correctly manufactured version.
