2010 Range Rover Sport. Consumer writes in regards to Rear Spoiler Outer Surface Retention Safety Recall. THE CONSUMER STATED THE WHILE DRIVING THE REAR SPOILER BLEW OFF AND HIT THE VEHICLE BEHIND IT. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE DAMAGES.

I RECEIVED THE NOTICE IN NOVEMBER OF 2020 ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THREE WEEKS AGO THE REAR SPOILER FLEW OFF WHILE DRIVING AT POSTED SPEEDS DOWN THE HIGHWAY, UNBEKNOWNST TO ME UNTIL I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR BASED ON THIS NOTICE, AND AM NOW BEING TOLD THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE, WITH NO ETA. I AM EXPERIENCING "LOSS OF USE" OF MY VEHICLE DUE TO THIS SAFETY RECALL, WHILE I AM WAITING FOR THIS PART. LAND ROVER JAGUAR WILL NOT AGREE TO COVER ANY ADDITIONAL DAMAGE SHOULD I CHOOSE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH THE WIRING EXPOSED DUE TO THE SPOILER NOT BEING REPLACED IN A TIMELY MANNER.
