2013 Land Rover Range Rover

The four-corner air suspension system is the Range Rover's most notorious failure point. Air strut bladders crack and leak, causing the vehicle to sag, and the compressor burns out from running continuously to compensate. Warnings such as 'Suspension Fault' and 'Normal Height Only' appear. The vehicle may become undrivable if it drops to the bump stops.

Replace leaking air struts (all four often need replacement within a short window). Replace the compressor and air dryer assembly. A full system leak-down test should be performed to identify all failure points before beginning repairs. Some owners convert to Arnott or other aftermarket air struts at lower cost.

The dual-screen Touch Pro Duo system experiences black screens, frozen displays, and slow response on both the upper and lower screens. Climate controls, seat heating, and terrain response settings become inaccessible when the lower screen fails. The system drains significant processing power and generates heat, leading to thermal throttling and lag.

Jaguar Land Rover has issued multiple software updates for the Touch Pro Duo system. Dealers can perform a full system reflash or replace the infotainment modules if hardware failure is confirmed. JLR TSB LTB00726 addresses systematic screen failures on the L405 platform.

The 5.0L supercharged V8 develops coolant leaks from the coolant crossover pipes at the front of the engine, where the O-rings degrade from heat cycling. The leak starts as a slow seep but can progress to a significant loss of coolant. Overheating can cause catastrophic engine damage if the coolant level is not monitored.

Replace the coolant crossover pipe O-rings and inspect the pipes for corrosion. The supercharger intercooler coolant circuit should also be checked for leaks. JLR TSB LTB00589 covers the repair procedure. A complete cooling system pressure test should be performed after the repair.

The two-speed transfer case develops a fluid leak from the output shaft seal, and owners report a clunk when shifting between drive and reverse or when transitioning from coasting to acceleration. The transfer case fluid leak is visible as a dark oil spot under the center of the vehicle. Low fluid levels can cause internal damage.

Replace the transfer case output shaft seal and refill with the correct specification fluid. If the internal clutch packs or chain are worn (causing the clunk), a transfer case rebuild or replacement is required. JLR TSB LTB00612 addresses transfer case seal leaks on the L405.

The powered tailgate fails to latch, open, or close properly. The power closing assist motor wears out, and the latch mechanism can become misaligned. Owners report the tailgate bouncing back open after attempting to close, and the 'Tailgate Open' warning remaining on the dash even when closed. Water intrusion corrodes the wiring in the tailgate.

Replace the tailgate latch mechanism and the power closing assist motor. Inspect and repair the tailgate wiring harness for corrosion. The tailgate hinges and gas struts should be checked for proper alignment. Recalibration with the dealer diagnostic tool is required after replacement.
