Faulty crankshaft position sensor (2016 recall)
Manufacturer recallA 2016 recall covers Discovery 4 3.0 TDV6 built between April 2012 and May 2013 (Australia): a badly made crankshaft sensor can cause the engine to stall, with loss of braking and steering assistance. Similar recalls have been published in China, Brazil and Italy.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
