This Problem Across All Years
My car has a strong gasoline odor when I drive it as well as when I turn it off and park it. However, especially when parking. In addition, after refueling, the fuel gauge lags for a few minutes in terms of fuel level. As a result of these events, I searched online for vehicle recalls and came across the information on your page. As you suggested, I contacted the authorized Land Rover dealer. After multiple communications and several attempts to schedule an appointment to address the issue, they inform me that they do not currently have the parts in stock to address the issue that the vehicle presents. At the same time, they tell me that if I want to fix it as soon as possible, I must pay for the service and that they will reimburse me once they receive the "recall letter." I am currently awaiting information on the cost of the service, but I am doubtful of the dealer's explanation. I'd like to confirm with the NHTSA that this is the correct procedure. My current concern is that the high temperatures will result in a fire caused by a gasoline leak.

WE BOUGHT THIS 2012 LAND ROVER LR4 WITH 44K MILES ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO. WE STARTED NOTICING A STRONG GASOLINE ODOR IN THE GARAGE EVER SINCE WE STARTED PARKING THIS CAR IN THE GARAGE. THE ODOR IS STRONGER AFTER WE DRIVE THE CAR AROUND ESPECIALLY IF THE TANK IS FULL. UPON RESEARCHING ENTHUSIAST FORUMS ABOUT LAND ROVERS AND ESPECIALLY LR4, THERE SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AROUND FUEL LEAK DUE TO SOME SORT OF FLANGE THAT HOLDS THE FUEL PUMP IN PLACE. RESEARCHING THE NHTSA DATABASE REVEALED THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPORTS OF FUEL LEAK FROM LR4 CARS OF THE SAME GENERATION. THE COST TO FIX THIS VARIES FROM A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS TO CLOSE TO TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS. I AM GOING TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE WHERE IT IS LEAKING FUEL FROM BUT NEEDED A NHTSA COMPLAINT NUMBER TO GO WITH IT SO I AM REPORTING THE ISSUE AS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD THIS CREATES. WE STARTED PARKING THE CAR OUTSIDE THE GARAGE AWAY FROM THE HOUSE UNTIL WE CAN GET THIS FIXED.

STARTED TO NOTICE A RAW GAS SMELL AFTER DRIVING OR JUST START THE CAR. I LOOKED FOR GAS LEAK BUT DIDN'T FIND ANY. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. AND THE SERVICE ASSISTANT SAID IT WAS THE FUEL GASKET. SHE ALSO INFORMED ME THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS THE DUST COVER AND GASKET AS SHE PREDICTED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE . *TR

WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE TOP OF MY FUEL TANK HAS A PLASTIC LID THAT HAS CRACKED. THE CAR IS LEAKING RAW GAS. HE SAID THIS IS APPROXIMATELY THE 5TH CAR HE HAS SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM THIS YEAR. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THE CAR COULD IGNITE IF A STRAY SPARK (TOSSED CIGARETTES BUTT, ETC) WAS NEAR MY CAR. THE ODOR IS EXTREMELY STRONG AND 'HEADACHE INDUCING' IF EXPOSED FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME. THE GAS ACTUALLY LEAKS OUT OF THE TANK FROM THE TOP WHEN THE CAR IS ON. THE FUMES ARE FLAMMABLE BUT NO ACTUAL GAS PUDDLE CAN BE SEEN BECAUSE THE LIQUID GAS EVAPORATES IN THE HEAT.
