I remember my Range Rover had a crankshaft issue a few years ago. The recall mainly covered 2018 to 2020 Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models equipped with those defective Ingenium gasoline engines. If you drive one of these vehicles, check your VIN immediately to confirm. The recall letter will inform you about the free crankshaft assembly replacement – it's crucial because a broken crankshaft could leave you stranded on the road. When my car was recalled for repair, it took half a day to fix, and the dealership even changed the oil for free. Bottom line: address this early to avoid costly engine repairs later.
