Tl* the contact owns a 2011 land rover lr2. while driving 55 mph, a loud humming noise was coming from the rear of the vehicle. the faster the vehicle accelerated, the louder the noise became. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the rear differential failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired and was not taken to a dealer. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 83,000.
The rear differential has been diagnosed with a pinion bearing failure by land rover. the vehicle only has 59,000 miles and has never seen anything off road
Noticed a loud noise from rear of vehicle while driving. the greater the speed the louder the noise. dealer inspection confirmed rear differential failing and needs replacement. vehicle has 38,000 miles and still has the original factory tires. rear differential failing before original tires are wore out! potential total failure of rear differential during operation a real safety concern.
