"Every new Land Rover vehicle is covered by a New Vehicle Limited Warranty for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Each vehicle also carries a six-year/unlimited-mileage corrosion perforation warranty, plus various emissions warranties"
Is a 4 year warranty standard for all car manufacturers in the US?

Can't answer that, but a limitation of 50,000 miles is a bit pants! I'll stick with 3 years / unlimited mileage thanks 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!

Last year I was at a wedding and on my table was the head of sale ops for LR in the far East and I raised this issue and I was a bit p d but the long and short of it was that the US and Eastern markets demand a 4 years warranty ,when I pressed him he stated that like all manufacturers that LR give the minimum warranty that it could get away with and that's why we in Europe only get 3 years .The US are much more law suit crazy than us in the UK I list a couple of examples
FFRR front diff's fixed FOC in the US after many lost court cases here in UK not interested
Mercedes MT272 /273 balance shaft fixed FOC in the US in the UK on yer bike
Porsche 996/997 911 IMS and bore scoring issues fixed in the US after many lost court cases ,but in the UK I am sure you can guess the answer Land Rover 90 - deceased
Discovery 3 - deceased
Discovery 4 2013
Mini Cooper S 1964 Mk1 - International Rally winner red & white
Mini Cooper s 1964 Mk1 - Road Rally champion green & white

JLR Warranties vary market to market.....there's no requirement for a fixed term ...it's usually related to their position against the competition

Thanks for that Mikey but in 2006/7 had 2 go in a TD6 was the recall later I sure that LR knew that a major issue was going on at the front end I was told that it was all to do with BMW-Ford some thing along the lines of BMW taking the alignment tools away etc etc that roughly what was the feed back to mate in the trade .Mikey any idea when the recall date was please just for my head
kind regards

DG, but it would be nice to see JLR "doing the right thing" by their customers in the UK don't you think?

why would they ? The UK market is predominantly 3 year across the major marques ..and the mileage is unlimited compared to the US 50k which is a huge negative tbh21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
I believe the average Yank drives 16550 per year, so you blow past 50k pretty quickly.
Where I used to live my commute meant I was topping 20k a year '80 109 Stage 1 V8 - still going strong!
