Showing 226–250 of 264 recalls.
THE PARKING FUNCTION OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
Due to the presence of an out of specification component within the automatic gearbox parking brake interlock system. The parking function may not fully engage when the operating lever is moved to park despite all indicators showing that park has been achieved. If the parking brake is not applied the vehicle may roll away.
Recalled vehicles will have the out of specification component replaced with a quality assured item.
BUCKLE MAY NOT BE RETAINED
Some vehicles may have been manufactured with a seat belt buckle mounting with a tensile strength below the required standard. If in the event of an accident where the rear left second row seat belt was being used the buckle may not be fully retained.
Recall the affected vehicles inspect and replace seat belt buckle where required.

Due to the presence of an out of specification component within the automatic gearbox parking brake interlock system. The parking function may not fully engage when the operating lever is moved to park despite all indicators showing that park has been achieved. If the parking brake is not applied the vehicle may roll away.

VEHICLE MAY BECOME UNSTABLE IF JACKED
Vehicles manufactured with Coil Suspension were incorrectly equipped with a scissor jack rather than the required screw/bottle jack. An unladen vehicle may become unstable if lifted
Recall affected vehicles and replace jack if incorrect type is found.
LEFT HAND REAR DOOR CHILD SAFETY LOCK LEVER MAY FAIL
Should the outer door handle of the left hand rear door be operated whilst the child lock is engaged this may permit the door to be opened by operation of the interior handle.
Recalled vehicles will have the suspect locks inspected and replaced if found to be defective.
POSSIBILITY OF STRESS CRACKS IN THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK
Due to a material specification change combined with inadequate tool design and process control it is possible that stress cracking can occur at either the fuel tank vent valve ring welding the breather pipe weld or the filler pipe stub.
Replace the fuel tank with an improved design.

Replace the fuel tank with an improved design.
TV SCREEN MAY NOT SWITCH OFF WHILST THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION
It has been identified that the TV will be viewable by the driver whilst the vehicle is in motion if the TV is being operated in the full screen position when the vehicle is stationary and a call through the in car phone system is either made or received and not ended prior to the vehicle being set in motion.
Recalled vehicles will have the high level front display unit reprogrammed with a revised level of software thus ensuring that the TV screen is switched off whilst the vehicle is in motion.
INCORRECT NUT INSTALLED INTO REAR SUBFRAME
M12 weld nuts has been incorrectly installed by a body panel supplier into the rear subframe mountings instead of the correct M14 weld nuts. A bolt that locates the frame to the body did not fit into this nut and was not installed at the vehicle assembly plant. Lack of this bolt could eventually cause the subframe to crack and become deformed. A deformed subframe could potentially lead to instability of the vehicle.
Recall the vehicles that may be affected and inspect the subframe fixing for fitment and correct clamping. If an incorrect subframe fixing is identified the subframe will be removed and the body panel will be repaired with a new weld nut.
YAW RATE SENSOR MAY SUFFER INTERNAL DELAMINATION
On certain vehicles equipped with a dynamic stability control the yaw rate sensor may have suffered internal delamination. This could result in actuation of the stability control incorrectly resulting in uneven and unexpected application of the brakes.
Recalled vehicles will be inspected in order to ascertain whether they contain a suspect sensor. Should this indeed be the case the sensor will be replaced with a quality assured part.
INCORRECT MANUFACTURER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG
The deflector panel contained in the passenger side air-bag module may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. This may result in unsatisfactory performance of the deflector panel's structural integrity during air bag deployment. This could result in damage of the air bag that could allow the release of a fragment of the deflector panel into the passenger compartment.
Recall the affected vehicles and replace the defective component with a quality assured one.
POSSIBILITY OF THE LEFT HAND CHILD LOCK DISENGAGING
It has been identified that if the left hand rear door is repeatedly operated with the child lock engaged disengagement of the lock can occur. This will allow the door to be opened from the inside when it is believed to be locked. This is due to the incorrect setting of the hot melt riveting machine.
Recall all the affected vehicles and replace the left hand rear door lock with a quality assured component.
POSSIBILITY THAT THE REAR FUEL LINE MAY CHAFE AGAINST HARNESS
Rear fuel line may chafe with ABS/ Water sensor and fuel pump harnesses with the possibility that a fuel leak may develop
Remove original convolute tubing and replace with smooth PVC tape. Additionally change fuel line and re-route the wiring harness to run to the side of the fuel lines.
POSSIBILITY OF UNDERBONNET FIRE
The active cornering enhancement system pump banjo bolt may loosen and allow fluid to leak past the joint. Resultant oil contamination of the engine compartment may lead to an underbonnet fire.
Check the pump banjo union for leaks and tighten the union bolt to the specified torque where necessary.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF SERVICE BRAKE
A potential fluid leak from the brake modulator may result in a reduction in the efficiency of the service brake or in the worst case complete failure of the service brake system.
Recall all potentially affected vehicles and fit stronger valve covers to the brake modulator.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF SERVICE BRAKE
A potential fluid leak from the brake modulator may result in a reduction in the efficiency of the service brake or in the worst case complete failure of the service brake system.
Recall all potentially affected vehicles and fit stronger valve covers to the brake modulator.
THROTTLE MAY STICK IN OPEN POSITION
The throttle spindle within the throttle body may stick in the open position when the accelerator pedal is released.
Recall affected vehicles and fit a quality assured throttle body.
STICKING THROTTLE
Throttle may stick in the open position
Recall affected vehicles and replace throttle bodies with quality assured unit.
DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR CONCERN.
When some scan tools are connected to the diagnostic connector on the vehicle they expect to see a vehicle ground on pin 5 of the diagnostic connector. Pin 5 of the diagnostic connector has no wire in place to supply a ground point. It is a legal requirement in NAS and for EOBD certified vehicles in the EU to have a vehicle ground in pin 5.
Recall affected vehicles and fit a pin to position 5 on the diagnostic connector and splice to the existing earth point.
LEFT HAND FRONT BRAKE FLEXIBLE HOSE CONCERN
Land Rover has received a small number of reports that detail a potential abrasion condition between the front left hand flexible brake hose and tyre. In extreme circumstances dependant upon the position of the hose the front left hand tyre can contact the hose and cause abrasion to the outer lining material which could result in a brake fluid leak.
Recall all affected vehicles to check the clearance between the hose and tyre where abrasion or limited clearance is found the hose must be replaced.
PARKING BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS CONCERN.
Under certain parking conditions the handbrake lever travel may operate inconsistantly. This could result in the handbrake failing to hold the vehicle effectively when parked on a slope.
Recall and examine the affected vehicles and modify the mechanism within the brake drums where necessary.
THROTTLE CABLE CONCERN.
The throttle cable may have been damaged during vehicle manufacture. This could cause the cable to fray and prevent the engine speed returning to idle when the throttle pedal is released.
Check the throttle cable for damage and replace where necessary.
RISK OF FIRE
There is a possibility that a short circuit may occur in the cigar lighter bulb holder when the vehicle lighting system is operated.
Disconnect the illumination feed to the lighter and remove the bulb.
INSECURITY OF FRONT SEAT BACKREST.
The front seats may not latch positively following operation of the seat tip lever. In consequence the seat squab (backrest) could attempt to fold forward if the vehicle should be brought to a very rapid stop.
Affected vehicles will be recalled for examination of the operation and integrity of the front seat tip lever and latching mechanism. In cases where the mechanism is found to bind a new seat frame assembly will be fitted.
