Hi Tim,Hi All,
Similar to most people on this forum, I too experienced a catastrophic crankshaft failure on my 2012 Discovery 4 HSE after 104,000kms on the clock (64,000 miles). Despite a series of technical diagnostics that concluded that indeed the crankshaft failed, Land Rover Australia have decided not to accept any liability or show any good will. Their position is that it is out of warrenty so bad luck.
I'm taking the case to the State ombudsman and it is my hope that they will rule that I as the consumer should reasonably expect a crackshaft to perform for longer than 104,000 kms, given there's a full service history and no early failure signs.
Can anyone tell me how many crankshaft failures this particular engine has had? I am aware of the Technical Service Bulletin but don't have any hard numbers regarding the size/frequency of the problem.
Also, I'd be more than happy to join a collective legal process.
Regards, Tim
crank shaft on my 2012 RRS SDV6 160,000kms went this week - did you have any luck with compensation?
cheers
Shane
