While driving the RRS the rear spoiler separated from the vehicle and flew off. Fortunately the road was quiet and the spoiler landed in the grass next to the road. This is a known issue and when I contacted Land Rover they stated mine didn't have the recall. If this had happened on a busy street or near pedestrians the outcome could have been worse or fatal.

I was driving on the highway at 65 miles per hour and all of a sudden the rear roof spoiler flew off and hit the car behind me. After doing some research I found this problem to be common. I was surprised to see that there was no recal for it as it is a very serious hazard to all drivers near when it happens. If the weather was bad it could have caused a deadly accident.

I have an id number 10984367 but believe the documents were not uploaded. These are important documents recognizing hilton head Land Rover was aware of other rear spoiler detachments other than mine. Please note service manager denied ever having heard or seen of this but service advisor bob robertson said he had just seen it a few months before. I have enclosed the document stating adhesive failure. This is extremely dangerous. I have attempted to handle this through Land Rover na and the dealership but have had no results. I believe this poses a danger to the public if left unchecked.

Range Rover Sport

  • 70,000 miles
At 55 mph traveling on ga highway 17, the rear spoiler spontaneously detached from the frame. A piece of the spoiler surrounding the rear camera sheared from the bulk of the spoiler and was left dangling from the automobile. I was able to find the spoiler in a ditch fortunately not being hit by vehicles behind me. I called Land Rover of hilton head, spoke with, and drove the auto to the service manager, thomas. He told me that he had never seen or heard of this and it must have been my fault for bumping the rear window on a garage door ( note no marks noted as reflected in later note from same dealership). (also note the spoiler and rear camera are mounted much lower than the rear window when open and thus not susceptible to alleged cause. Multiple calls to dayna, customer service representative at Land Rover N.a. no resolution. Return trip to service department with another service person revealed his findings, included and attached. He stated this was not uncommon and showed me a report from another vehicle 3-4 months previous at the same dealership. Please note that on other vehicles including Mercedes 2016 E series recalls for similar problems for inspection and replacement. The service department has neglected the seriousness of this issue. Had anyone been following me, a serious accident could have occurred, especially with a motorcycle. Resulting damage and possible deaths would then have been directed toward me personally and Land Rover of N.a. I have include multiple communications, names, pictures, etc to show the inherent danger in the admitted failed adhesive problem. Simply reading the second service persons evaluation shows their knowledge of this danger. I have multiple phone calls and three emails to further document. I believe immediate action should be taken on these spoilers to prevent potential deaths
