Background of the Class Action
Land Rover is currently facing a class action lawsuit over alleged defects in the windshields of certain Defender models. Filed in October 2024, the lawsuit claims that the windshields in Land Rover Defender vehicles are prone to cracking or chipping far more easily than expected under normal driving conditions. According to the suit, owners have experienced cracking even without significant impact, raising concerns about the quality and durability of the windshields used in these vehicles by the Alleged Windshield Defect
The class action specifically targets the following Land Rover Defender models:
- 2020–2024 Land Rover Defender models, particularly the Defender 90 and Defender 110 variants.
Owners report that windshields on these models are particularly vulnerable to cracking or chipping, often under minimal stress or due to minor impacts. This alleged defect has not only led to frequent repairs but has also posed potential safety risks. Some plaintiffs argue that replacing the windshield has done little to resolve the issue, as cracks or chips continue to appear shortly after replacement.
The class action alleges that Land Rover failed to adequately disclose the potential vulnerability of the Defender’s windshield. Plaintiffs claim this omission constitutes a breach of consumer protection laws, as it left customers uninformed about the risk of frequent windshield damage.
According to the lawsuit, Land Rover also failed to offer a permanent fix for the issue, despite numerous complaints from owners.
The plaintiffs seek compensation for costs associated with windshield repairs and replacements, as well as damages for the diminished resale value of affected vehicles. Additionally, they argue that Land Rover should provide a more durable replacement option that meets the expected standards of an off-road vehicle.
What Defender Owners Need to Do Next
Affected Land Rover Defender models are encouraged to monitor the progress of the lawsuit and may consider joining the class, or take it into their own hands an consider other options if they have experienced similar issues. Those eligible could receive compensation for repair costs and additional damages if the class action is successful.
How Land Rover Owners Can Take Back Control
While this class action lawsuit has been initiated, thousands of Land Rover owners are likely affected by the same alleged windshield defect, with many expressing dissatisfaction over Land Rover’s inadequate solutions. These types of issues often lead to escalated legal action, highlighting the importance of protecting consumer rights.
