    Younger bro had a RRS Autobio until recently and believe me he thrashes a motor. Hated the black smoke screen out the back when booting it but never had too much trouble with it at all and certainly never a crankshaft prob. With my more sedate driving and better servicing (he had dealer types do it) I don't think it's something to lay awake worrying about.
    I'd be more worried if they closed the Guinness brewery down......

    Here is the recall page from Land Rover Korea LAND ROVER RACALL ANNOUNCEMENT

    Using Google translate helps, but it gets the dates of vehicles incorrect. It should read 2010 to 2016.

    It’s interesting that they are saying the initial inspection to determine if a replacement engine is required only takes 1 hour. Maybe they sit on the rev limiter for 60 minutes, if it doesn’t snap the crank it must be OK, if it does snap it needs the replacement

    To provide some context, there's been an issue in South Korea with diesel BMWs catching on fire:

    I think that I read in the Economist that the suspicions had spread to other imported brands, which is likely why JLR Korea initiated the recall. I note that, from the posts above, it appears to have been JLR Australia that brought up "fires" as an issue.

    Oh I know …. it was s gobsmackingly pathetic deflection attempt which probably played against them in court...…"Nothing wrong with the box, you're changing gears the wrong way"

    Ford never recognised the head gasket and cylinder head corrosion problems with the Falcon 6 either.

    Or the rust they came with as a no cost factory option

    A recall has now been issued in China for the TDV6/SDV6 engines. Stating “some of the vehicles in this recall may have premature wear due to insufficient lubrication. In extreme cases, the crankshaft may break, causing the engine's power output to be interrupted, posing a safety hazard.”

    and for the translated version Google Translate
    2014, MY14 Discovery TDV6, Fuji White (2018-Now)
    2003, Discovery 2a, Td5 Manual, Zambezi Silver (2012-2018)
    2007, Adventure Offroad Campers, Grand Tourer (2015-Now)

    "premature wear due to insufficient lubrication. In extreme cases, the crankshaft may break, causing the engine's power output to be interrupted" . I really like that bit.
    Hopefully as mine is a June 2016 build it won't happen to it....... in the meantime as I said previously I'd worry more about the possibility of brewers closing down.
    HNY to everyone and stop worrying about maybe/might do things.

    Sorry Alan. A number of 2016 have also failed as well at D5 engines. No one is immune from this debacle.

    That’s amazing they’re not really worried about poor old cobber with the broken crank that may buy another car one day but only really worried about the consequences of what may happen, when it occurs on some busy highway to third parties
    Too many lawyers in the company I think
