What's wrong?
The front suspension knuckle on a 2014-2016 Land Rover Range Rover is a structural part at the front wheel. It supports the wheel hub and connects the upper suspension arm to the steering and suspension hardware, so the wheel stays located as the vehicle turns, brakes, and moves over rough pavement.
On the recalled Range Rover vehicles, a supplier manufacturing error left weakness in the knuckle material. The upper knuckle joint can crack, and in extreme cases the upper suspension arm can detach. If that happens during an avoidance maneuver, the driver faces a vehicle control risk.
There is no warning sign before failure. The joint is not listed with a dashboard light, sound, or handling symptom that reliably tells an owner the knuckle has started to crack.
Who's affected?
All listed model years use the same steering linkage component, tied to the front suspension knuckle.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A front suspension arm that detaches can reduce vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash. Confirm whether your 2014-2016 Range Rover is included by VIN, then schedule the dealer inspection and repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Land Rover dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2016 Land Rover Range Rover is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Land Rover dealer to schedule the free front suspension knuckle inspection and repair that addresses cracking at the upper knuckle joint and suspension arm detachment.
- Ask the dealer whether superseding recall 25V514 controls the repair for your VIN before the appointment.
- Bring the recall notice if Land Rover mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V840 and Land Rover recall numbers N759 and D025 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and avoid abrupt steering inputs.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Land Rover technician inspects the front suspension knuckles. If a knuckle needs added retention, the technician installs a retaining bracket. If the knuckle is damaged or does not meet inspection criteria, the technician replaces it. The dealer repair is free under the recall, with parts and labor covered. If you already paid out of pocket for this defect outside warranty coverage, Jaguar Land Rover's reimbursement plan covers qualifying repair costs, subject to its usual terms and conditions. Bring the prior invoice and proof of payment to the service desk.
