Land Rover Range Rover Sport P400

Incorrect plastic specification for the Ingenium I6 3.0L petrol oil filter housing. The housing can crack and spray engine oil onto hot components. Fire risk. Recall N908.

Symptoms: Visible oil leak, oil puddles, oil warning light, in severe cases smoke or fire

The PT306 inline-six shows timing chain wear with rattling on cold start. Although more robust than the 2.0L four-cylinder, wear and tensioner issues are documented at higher mileages.

Symptoms: Metallic rattling on cold start, rough idle, engine warning light with camshaft correlation errors

PT306 turbochargers develop bearing wear and oil blow-by particularly with insufficient oil change intervals. Allow cool-down time after spirited driving.

Symptoms: Whistling or howling noise, smoke from exhaust, power loss, elevated oil consumption

The PT306 water pump and thermostat are known wear items. Failure leads either to persistent undercooling or dangerous overheating.

Symptoms: Temperature fluctuations, coolant loss, steam from bonnet, overheating warning

The turbocharged PT306 inline-six shows elevated oil consumption at higher mileages, especially under hard use. Causes: turbocharger shaft seal wear and short-trip degradation.

Symptoms: Regular top-ups required, faint blue smoke under acceleration

On the 48V mild hybrid system, the DC-DC converter from 48V to 12V fails. Without a working converter the 12V battery is not charged — complete vehicle shutdown is possible.

Symptoms: Charging system fault warning, red battery symbol, infotainment shutdown

Software faults trigger engine management and gearbox fault messages without any mechanical defect. Particularly affects MHEV variants. OTA updates address known cases; ECU reprogramming at the dealer often necessary.

Despite the new generation, early L461s show compressor failures and faulty height sensors. ABS modulator noises addressed via OTA update. Air suspension remains inherently expensive to repair when it fails.
