    SEAT BELT MOUNTING BRACKET MAY FAIL

    Defect

    Some seat belt mounting bracket bolt/studs may be out of specification as they may have suffered Hydrogen Embrittlement during production. Occupants will normally notice the failure by the looseness or detachment of seat belt brackets. If the issue is not rectified occupants may not be restrained in their seat if the vehicle is involved in a collision.

    Remedy

    Recall affected vehicles and replace the seat belt mounting brackets.

    PARKING BRAKE EFFICIENCY CAN BE AFFECTED

    Defect

    It is possible that the transfer box output shaft may not be to specification. This can allow oil to leak between the output shaft and the drive flange. This can result in oil entering the parking brake drum and contaminating the brake linings which can affect the parking brake efficiency.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicles for the cleaning and resealing of the drive flange to output shaft plus the replacement of any contaminated brake linings.

    PARKING BRAKE MAY BECOME INEFFECTIVE

    Defect

    Parking brake efficiency can be impaired as a result of an incorrectly assembled oil seal at the transfer box output shaft allowing oil to contaminate the brake linings.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary fit a new oil seal degrease the back plate and drum and replace the brake linings.

    LEFT HAND FRONT BRAKE FLEXIBLE HOSE CONCERN

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    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.

    INSECURITY OF FRONT SEAT BACKREST.

    Defect

    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.

    Remedy

    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.
