    Lol. Suggest the crack through the middle of the crank was a factor.

    It’s unacceptable. Cranks just shouldn’t go.

    It seems that as long as there have been no fires due to crankshaft JLR Australia don’t care

    Dear Mr ****,

    Thank you for your latest email.


    Regarding your concern with the TDV6 engines, to clarify we are unable to provide a list of affected vehicles as the recall only affects vehicles for the South Korean market.


    At this time, there is no recall either active or planned in the Australian market, as the recall is confined to the South Korean market. We have had no reported vehicle fires in Australia caused by crankshaft failures.


    We appreciate you bringing this concern to our attention.


    Kind regards,

    so in the interests of helping others, if you break a crank shaft in the future - set fire to it

    Their final response to my questions

    Can you confirm that the TDV6 crankshaft, block, and bearings fitted to the Australian market and Korean market are the same?
    &
    Can you also confirm that there have been several crankshaft failures in these TDV6 engines.

    In fairness they were never going to admit to an issue if they have no intention of having a recall.

    Dear Mr ****,

    Thank you for your latest reply.


    From your comments received, to clarify, whilst not confirmed, it is likely the part numbers for crank and block are shared. However, there are differences in engine ancillaries, emission controls, and servicing. From a large carparc of operational 3.0L TDV6 engines, we have had very little trouble from this engine.


    We take our duty of care very seriously, and should a systematic safety related concern arise, we will in all instances move to address it quickly. To date there has not been cause to act in relation to this engine.


    Assuring you of our best intentions at all times.

    Kind regards,

    Sounds like a load of bollocks to me. They'll only act when forced to. Meantime I'll keep up the servicing and won't worry about something which may not ever happen.

    Do you really think they are going to make any admissions which would open them to litigation from all quarters?

    They will only take action if forced to by courts and the only way to do that is for individuals with issues to lodge a complaint with the ACCC with associated evidence - once there is a ground swell of complaints the ACCC will open an investigation.

    This is what happened with the Ford ACCC investigation - final action years after the initial problem and the ACCC only started investigation when the number of complaints started to become over whelming. In the mean time Ford was denying there was an issue.

    Maybe LR needs reminding of the Ford decision and what can happen if they treat customers as idiots.

    Good idea , my 2007 RRS 2.7 168ks is still going well and maintained as req and sched , as the value now is just about kaput but does not make the car any less good as it always was and have had a brilliant run out of it , if the engine goes will just sell as parts and get a good second hand landcruiser but a landcruiser will never be as good as the old sport .
    The new landrovers suck anyway .
