What owners report
Steering knuckle cracked and became disconnected from car while driving straight on the highway during normal driving conditions.
The fuel tank cover has rusted with visible open cracks /breakage through the material. I'm unsure if the actual fuel tank has become affected yet. Safety is at risk if leakage of fuel becomes evident. I have only casually discussed recall notices with my local parts department. No warning lights at this time. Issue was found during a rear brake inspection.
The subject vehicle is a 2016 Range Rover and is my daily driver. The vehicle has a carbon steel fuel tank cradle (P/N - LR071011) that has a common failure of the steel cradle that is the only component that holds the fuel tank in place. When the fuel tank cradle corrosion is significant the fuel tank is no longer secured to the vehicle body and the fuel tank can otherwise shift or drop away from the vehicle. The fuel tank cradle on my vehicle is completely corroded through and missing most of the structure necessary to hold the fuel tank in place (see pictures attached). I can physically move the fuel tank by hand and have now used ratchet straps to temporarily hold the fuel tank in place.
Component Failed & Availability: The high-pressure fuel system and the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) have failed. The vehicle is currently available for inspection upon request.

This creates a severe crash hazard when attempting to enter or maneuver in traffic. Simultaneously, the primary airbag/restraint matrix is faulted, meaning occupants are unprotected if an accident occurs due to the stalling. Warning Lamps & Symptoms: The Check Engine Light is illuminated, actively displaying DTC P00C6-
