Land Rover Range Rover Sport fuel smell in cabin and around vehicle after fuel flange replacement and ongoing parts unavailability on Land Rover Range Rover Sport

Problem overview

Some Land Rover Range Rover Sport owners report experiencing a gasoline smell in their garage after completing a fuel tank recall, which seems to have started consistently after the recall was performed. Despite infrequent driving and filling their tanks only about once a month, these owners have noted the issue. Additionally, some have reported smelling gas fumes occasionally since the Gas Flange Recall was announced in late October 2021, although no obvious gas leaks have been detected. Delays in addressing these concerns appear to be linked to parts unavailability and waiting for repair instructions from Land Rover corporate. Owners experiencing a fuel smell in the cabin or around their vehicle after a fuel flange replacement are advised to contact Land Rover customer service for further assistance.
