JLR Korea has decided to issue a free repair for a timing chain issue in the 2-liter Ingenium diesel engine. This is an extension of the recall of the Land Rover Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque a few months ago, and is a world first. I hope this will help owners of vehicles with Ingenium 2L engines around the world who may be suffering.
JLR is having so many problems with their 2.0 ingenium Diesel engine timing chain failures that Korean authorities have gotten JLR to issue a recall for substandard quality parts failing (Timing chains) due to excessive failures. Supposedly the timing chain systems were updated in 2019. Repair reports were showing the 2019 model mostly did not have updates. it was the manufacture date of 2019 not the model of the car so it didn't actually happen until December 2019 manufacturing date. That makes it the late 2020 model that got the updates. So it looks like late 2020 models and up have the new Improved timing chain system and all previous years (2015 to early 2020) models have the inferior materials parts installed. This appears to be confirmed in the JLR recall statement.
