The front bumper of my MY17 Evoque has shown a fracture at its juncture with the front fender. No evidence of collision with another vehicle or any external force has been seen. Upon doing an internet search, I discovered the following information:

The communication number assigned to this correspondence is LTB00738NAS3, and it is dated August 15, 2016. The category under discussion is 162200. The topic of discussion pertains to the structural component known as bumpers, specifically in the The user wants their text to be rewritten in an academic style without adding any additional information. The present scenario involves a potential occurrence of cracking in the front bumper cover at the point of contact with the front fender.

I am now unable to access Topix. Could you kindly advise me whether there is any information available on that platform that I may direct my dealer to in order to get a warranty replacement?

I visited the dealership today, where the salesperson promptly presented an updated iteration of the service bulletin pertaining to the specific problem I had encountered. Upon venturing outside, the individuals directed their attention towards the bumper, which exhibited signs of cracking on both ends (with my own observation limited to the passenger side). Without delay, they concluded that this particular issue warranted a repair covered by the warranty, citing the occurrence of at least five such instances in the preceding years.

I purchased a pre-owned vehicle from the year 2016, which exhibited a rip or crack in a consistent position and on the same side. The vendor has promised to rectify the issue. The invoice for the body shop services amounted to a total of $2,000 USD. Was there any comment made about the revision or enhancement of the bumper cover to prevent a recurrence of the issue?

I have just seen a similar issue with my 2013 Evoque vehicle. I visited a dealer collision service where I was informed that they had just been aware of a problem, which they have determined to be non-warrantable. What actions may be taken to rectify this issue?

I had a similar problem with my 2013 Evoque vehicle. While doing research on potential solutions, I encountered the following information on the process of rectifying the issue. It seems that this is a frequently seen phenomenon. What are the potential causes for the occurrence of a cracked front bumper on a Range Rover Evoque? Baron and Herskowitz

Indeed, this is rather remarkable.
As a recent participant in this forum, I have taken notice of this particular issue while perusing the many discussions.
The cracks on my Evoque are identical. Upon careful consideration of the discourse presented in this thread, my initial conviction of an unidentified impact to my frontal region, unbeknownst to me, has undergone a transformation.
I was able to resolve the issue alone. I purchased a plastic-specific adhesive and personally used it to connect the materials together. The color of my vehicle is a shade of deep blue. The resolution is imperceptible. The cost savings of repairing the item myself exceeded the expenses associated with bringing it to a professional repair service.

Oh my goodness! I acquired a previously owned MY17 vehicle and saw the presence of a custom paint application on the right front fender and a portion of the bumper, which suggests that it was not an original factory finish. The endeavor to seamlessly integrate the paint was executed with little success. It is hypothesized that the former owner may have been involved in an unreported vehicular incident and afterwards opted for cost-effective repairs prior to trading in the vehicle. A minor repair was conducted at the point of contact between the fender and the bumper. The mileage on my vehicle is below 12,000 kilometers. I should assess the actions that Land Rover will do on my behalf.

There were five instances of fenders that were found to be fractured.
Is this the most optimal solution? It seems that my actions may have a negative impact on the sales of the Evoque, since I want to actively promote and inform others I encounter about my experiences with the product.

I am Evalena, a supervisor at Land Rover North America Corporate. I am reaching out to you in response to your request for a higher-level examination of the matter mentioned before. I made an effort to establish contact; but, I encountered your voicemail and therefore decided to pursue communication by email. After conducting a thorough examination, we have reached the conclusion that we are unable to provide you with financial aid for the repair you have requested. The rationale for this decision was predicated on our failure to identify any ascertainable flaw, recall, or ongoing warranty that would provide financial coverage for the expenses associated with this repair. Although we acknowledge that work has been previously conducted at your local shop, it is important to note that there is currently no existing guarantee for that particular repair. We thus announce the closure of the aforementioned matter. For any further inquiries or apprehensions pertaining to the previously conducted repair, it is advisable to contact your nearby store.

Please refrain from making any alterations, omissions, or amendments to the "Subject" section of this email, as doing so may impede our ability to effectively address your issue.

In a courteous manner,

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is a company operating in the automotive industry.

In response to the query presented, I would want to provide a revised version of the user's text in a more academic manner.
Thank you for dedicating your time to provide a response. If you were to do an online search using the term "fender cracks Range Rover Evoque," you would discover that Jaguar Land Rover has issued a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) addressing this issue. Additionally, there are many legal websites that have gathered information for potential legal actions, as well as other forums where individuals debate this specific problem. I own a pair of Evoque vehicles and have had the aforementioned repair on four separate occasions, which included the installation of the purportedly enhanced and non-recurring fender. I was provided with a guarantee that a recurrence of this event would be prevented. The occurrence has transpired once again on both of my Evoques. Thus far, I have had a level of satisfaction with previous fixes, but accompanied by significant inconveniences. It is imperative that you do a reassessment of your refusal and proceed with the necessary repairs on this car once again.

I am also interested in obtaining this information. I first surmised that my vehicle had been subject to a collision in the parking area, with the responsible party neglecting to provide any kind of communication or notification.
I am interested in doing the repair independently. Kindly provide the pertinent information.

I express my gratitude for your assistance.

I am a resident of Malaysia and I have seen a current concern with bumper-related matters. I reached out to Range Rover Malaysia, who informed me that the vehicle in question had over both the warranty and recall term. Consequently, they have said that they would not assume responsibility for addressing the problem at hand. Regrettably, no correspondence or communication was received by the undersigned to apprise them of the recall pertaining to the aforementioned issue within the stipulated warranty timeframe. I really want that an individual may provide me with a conceptual framework for resolving the aforementioned predicament. Thank you for your response.

This incident occurred to me during the last two days. The estimated cost for the replacement of the bumper amounts to $3500. The downtown Austin office of Range Rover has indicated that this report represents their first submission on the matter. I contacted the aforementioned legal agency, and my spouse is using a plastic glue with the intention of remedying the fissures. This is disappointing. There were no instances of collision, and no damage was incurred to my vehicle in any other areas. I generally refrain from doing extended journeys with the vehicle, but I made exceptions on Monday and Tuesday of the current week. Consequently, it is plausible to consider the possibility of a weight-related concern. The region cannot be patched by anybody. Both Range Rover and another body shop hold the belief that the vehicle in question has been involved in a collision. There is an absence of collision damage. The vehicle is securely stored in both a public parking garage and a private garage, ensuring that unauthorized individuals are unable to approach the front of the automobile. The one factor that seems logical to me is the possibility of it being related to weight. Acquiring a replacement bumper seems to lack practicality since it is anticipated that a similar incident would recur.
