“I took my Range Rover in for a coolant leak, was told there was a Recall on a battery system, the recall was a software update to prevent that battery system from going offline. The system was already offline, and Land Rover North America refuses to honor the intent of the recall, and is refusing to cover the cost to replace that battery system. It only seems logical that if a recall is to prevent an issue from occurring yet the issue has already occurred, they should cover the cost to fix it.
