I have tried making multiple appointments at the dealership in mobile alabama to get this recall taken care of after 2 attempts I took it to the Nashville dealership. The first attempt in mobile I called before driving over an hour away to the appointment and they didn't have the appointment on there schedule when I had scheduled over a month in advance and the second time I called and they did not having parts in stock even though I made an appointment. I took it to Nashville dropped it off for 5 days while visiting when I came back the recall for the fuel tank still had not been done nor was I notified as to why. They did another recall and it was supposed to be finished by 8am the day I picked it up I wasn't able to leave the dealership until around 3pm due to their negligence and miscommunication still without the recall I brought it in for completed. Now there is a fuel smell and I now have tried making an appointment again with the mobile alabama dealership and they want me to leave it there for days to be completed and suggested I rent a car because they cannot loan a vehicle when this recall is only supposed to take a day.

Vehicle: 2010 Land Rover Range Rover Sport VIN: [XXX] Issue: A safety recall repair previously performed on my vehicle has failed, recreating the original safety hazard the recall was intended to fix. Details: My vehicle was subject to a recall involving [rear spoiler detachment risk]. The recall repair was “performed “ without proof by Land Rover of Cincinnati in Aug 2023. As of April 2025, the same issue has reoccurred. Specifically: The spoiler detached while driving on interstate 75. (This spoiler never detached before they “fixed” it. - This created a serious safety hazard coming undone in the highway. It actually got a semi trucks front number as he crushed over it..,the semi driver did not stop to report it though. Concern: This indicates the recall remedy may have been improperly performed or is ineffective. I am being told I must pay out of pocket $6500 to fix an issue that should have been resolved under a federally mandated safety recall. Request: I am requesting investigation into: 1) Whether the recall repair procedure is adequate 2) Whether this repair was properly completed 3) Whether other vehicles may be affected by failed recall remedies Dealer: Land Rover Location: Cincinnati OH INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
