2018 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque

We purchased this vehicle used with 33,000 miles (approx). We noticed the passenger side cv axle making noise when turning. We contacted a local JLR dealership and were told that this was a normal sound for an AWD vehicle. The vehicle now has approx 60,000 miles and the sound has gotten much worse. I started researching the issue and there is a TSB for this exact issue (LTB01030NAS2). We took the vehicle into a JLR dealership and were told that since it is out of warranty we will have to pay to get it fixed. This impacts the CV Axle, in the TSB it plainly states the axle and bearings were improperly installed from the factory. This should be a recall and is definitely a safety issue, as the bearing can give way and you can lose the front passenger side wheel/tire.

Vehicle is experiencing the same malfunction as was recalled on 2019 and 2020 Range Rover Evoque's for "excessive engine cooling fan noise in the passenger compartment and eventual degradation of the engine cooling system performance." After several minutes of operation, the engine cooling fan begins running at an abnormally loud volume and despite adequate engine temperature levels, does not stop running until operation of the vehicle has ceased. After much research regarding this issue I have found it to be apparent in several Jaguar and Land Rover vehicle models apart from the 2019 and 2020 Range Rover Evoque. One such consumer stated the fan spun in such excess that it dislodged and powered through the front hood of the vehicle which could have resulted in serious bodily harm. The problem has been reproduced with a service technician and is awaiting inspection by Jaguar Land Rover in Honolulu who have acknowledged by telephone that this is a known issue. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance representatives. No warning lamps or sensors have indicated a malfunction of any sort, at any time.
