Land Rover Range Rover Sport: Engine

The hazard

On certain vehciles, bolts which fix the big end bearing caps onto the engine connecting rod may not have been torqued to the correct specification and could loosen. This would result in unusual knocking noises from the engine compartment. If the vehicle was to be operated in this condition, the engine could seize and stall, causing a loss of motive power as well as a loss of power steering and power brake assist. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace affected engines.
