Showing 51–75 of 76 recalls.
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL MAY NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY
As a result of the ABS system self check software not being installed correctly�Yaw Stability Control (YSC) Electronic Traction Control (ETC) and Gradient Release Control�systems may become disabled. The air suspension goes into �Safe Mode� lowering to its lowest setting. An Amber warning indicator illuminates warning the driver.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and download the latest level of software.
WHEEL NUTS MAY DETACH
On affected vehicles the road wheel nuts may not have been manufactured to the correct specification. These wheel nuts may crackwhen subject to shock loads and detach from the stud. This may lead to insecurity and possible detachment of a road wheel.
Recall affected vehicles and replace wheel nuts. Locking wheel nuts are not affected.
REAR PROPELLER SHAFT COUPLING FAILURE
It has been identified that a genuine replacement rear propeller shaft coupling could fail which could result in the propeller shaft detaching from the vehicle whilst in motion.
Recall all affected parts and replace with a new quality component.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
The front pump bearing on some aftermarket replacement High Pressure Fuel Pumps may fail due to lack of sufficient lubrication. This will cause failure of the shaft seal which will cause a fuel leak and if not rectified could cause a vehicle fire.
Recall affected vehicles and replace fuel pump with the latest specification pump.
POSSIBLE REDUCTION IN BRAKING ASSISTANCE
It has been identified that some vehicles may experience a reduction in braking performance leading to increased stopping distance due to the possibility of oil entering the brake booster or the brake vacuum pump non-return valve sticking in the closed position after cold start.
All recalled vehicles will be fitted with a modified brake vacuum pipe along with a revised design non-return valve in the secondary port of the vacuum pump.
FUEL MAY LEAK
Fuel may leak from the fuel pump front bearing which could lead to poor performance smell of fuel fuel leakage at the rear of the engine fuel leak onto the ground and in the worse case fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the high pressure fuel pump drive belt belt tensioner the high pressure fuel lines and the fuel filter.
POSSIBILITY OF FUEL LEAKAGE
It has been identified that on vehicles fitted with fuel tanks which incorporate an internal breather pipe the breather pipe may not be to specification. This may result in swelling and cracking of a grommet and detachment of the breather pipe from a connector tube. In this condition fuel may enter the breather pipe resulting in MIL illumination fuel odour and drivability concerns such as hesitation misfiring stalling rough running or difficult starting. In the worst case fuel may be discharged onto the ground.
Recalled vehicles will have the fuel tank replaced.

Recall affected vehicles and replace the fuel tank.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
STICKING THROTTLE
Throttle may stick in the open position
Recall affected vehicles and replace throttle bodies with quality assured unit.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
