Showing 251–264 of 264 recalls.
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.
COOLING SYSTEM LEAKS
There is a possibility of premature failure of the cooling system hoses and throttle body heater gasket. Expelled coolant allowed to remain on hot engine components can result in the evaporation of the water content and leave an artificially high concentration level of anti - freeze which is in extreme circumstances both corrosive and inflammable.
Recall affected vehicles to replace cooling system hoses / throttle body heater gasket with quality assured parts.
ENGINE FLYWHEEL MAY FRAGMENT
As a consequence of the manufacturing process the engine flywheel may develop surface cracks which under certain high load conditions can propagate resulting in disintegration of the flywheel.
Recall affected vehicles for the fitment of quality assured parts.
ENGINE FLYWHEEL MAY FRAGMENT
As a consequence of the manufacturing process the engine flywheel may develop surface cracks which under certain high load conditions can propagate resulting in disintegration of the flywheel.
Recall affected vehicles for the fitment of quality assured parts.
ACE SYSTEM HIGH PRESSURE PIPES MAY LEAK FLUID
The ACE system high pressure pipes may under certain conditions fracture and leak fluid. In extreme circumstances should the vehicle continue to be driven and sufficient fluid expelled into the engine bay and an ignition source is present the fluid could ignite.
Recall affected vehicles and replace ACE high pressure pipes.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM RELAY CONTACTS STICKING
Land Rover have identified a concern associated with the Anti-Lock Braking (ABS) system. This may give the feeling of the vehicle Self-braking under normal driving conditions following normal brake pedal application caused by the contacts within the ABS relay sticking. Should this occur a very slight retardation may be felt within the vehicle until the contacts within the ABS relay are released.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the ABS relay with a quality assured unit.
POSSIBLE FAILURE OF REAR SUSPENSION LOCATING LINKS
Land Rover have identified a weld integrity concern associated with the rear suspension links on Freelander models. Should the weld fracture the stability of the rear hub assembly could be impaired. This may cause the vehicle to deviate from a straight line under normal driving conditions. To protect the long term integrity of these components Land Rover are implementing recall action on all Freelander models within the affected VIN range.
Recall affected vehicles and replace the rear suspension links with quality assured units.
INVOLUNTARY OPERATION OF AIR BAG
Involuntary operation of the air bag may occur as a result of an intermittent electrical fault.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of a safety fuse link in the air bag circuit.
INVOLUNTARY OPERATION OF AIR BAG
Involuntary operation of the air bag may occur as a result of an intermittent electrical fault.
Recall the affected vehicles for the fitment of a safety fuse link in the air bag circuit.
LATCHING OF FRONT RIGHT HAND DOOR
Under certain circumstances it is possible that the front right hand door may not latch properly.
The affected vehicles are being recalled to have the operation of the front right hand door checked. In all cases a modified screw will be fitted to the lock to eliminate the concern but where the check indicates that the latch may be binding
CRACKING OF REAR SUSPENSION COMPOSITE LINKS
The rear suspension composite links are below specification and may develop small stress cracks at the aluminium eye end. Failure of the link(s) would affect the security of the rear axle.
Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of the suspension links with quality assured examples.
SEAT BELT FIXINGS MAY BE INSECURE
The seat belt fixings may be loose at the frames on both front seats. Should these fixings come adrift the effectiveness of the seat belt will be reduced in the event of an accident.
Recall the affected vehicles and check the torque of the belt fixing retaining bolts on both front seats retorqueing if required.
POSSIBLE MALFUNCTION OF ELECTRIC WINDOW SWITCH
The window operating switch may latch in the 'pressed' condition. This could result in the window continuing to operate up or down when pressure on the switch is released.
Recall the affected vehicles for replacement of the original window switches with quality assured units.
