THROTTLE MAY BE SUSEPTIBLE TO JAM OPEN
Throttle may jam open
Replace the throttle assembly yoke regulator and battery
FRONT AXLE SWIVEL BEARINGS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PRODUCED TO SPECIFICATION
Due to a fault in the supplier production process the swivel bearings on the front axle of the affected vehicles may not have been produced to specification. Due to an insufficient heat treatment the fracture strain has been reduced. The affected swivel bearings could break causing loss of wheel guidance during driving.
On the affected vehicles both swivel bearings will be checked and if necessary replaced with a part produced to specification.

FUEL TANK MOUNTING BRACKET JOINT BREAKS/CRACKS
On affected vehicles the fuel tank mounting bracket joint may break/crack with the risk of the fuel tank dropping to the floor and parting from the fuel filler neck resulting in fuel spillage (environmental contamination).
On affected vehicles the fuel tank mounting bracket is inspected implementing welding reinforcement to the mounting bracket.
ELECTRICAL WIRING IN STEERING ASSEMBLY MAY BE INSUFFICIENTLY GROUNDED
The steering column clock spring may break. This will cause warning messages to illuminate in the instrument cluster but in extreme instances it may cause the driver's airbag to deploy
.Affected vehicles will be recalled to be checked to ensure there is sufficient grounding of the steering components.

ENGINE CONTROL UNIT CONTROL OF FUEL PUMP
Insufficient control of the fuel pump by the engine control unit the fuel pump may stop functioning in certain driving conditions which could lead in individual cases to a drop of the fuel pressure. When the fuel pressure drops an engine stalling cannot be excluded.
On affected vehicles the engine control unit will be reprogrammed
SEAT BELT BUCKLE RUBBING AGAINST PLASTIC SEAT COVER
On affected vehicles in certain circumstances the drivers seat belt buckle (steel rope) is rubbing against the plastic seat cover which may result in damage to the wire. In the event of an accident there is a risk the seat belt buckle steel rope could break.
On affected vehicles inspect the seat belt buckle and in the case of damage replace accordingly.
INCORRECT SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION IN COMBI METER FITTED TO PREM3 VARIANT VEHICLES
Warning light not coming on with steering fault
Software upgrade
GAS FUEL CYLINDERS MAY FAIL
Gas fuel tanks fitted to affected vehicles may be affected by corrosion. Over time corrosion may weaken the tank wall(s) and the tank may burst.
On affected vehicles check gas fuel tanks for corrosion. assess and where necessary replace.
FRONT AXLE TOE ADJUSTMENT INCORRECTLY CALCULATED
The toe adjustment for the front axle was incorrectly calculated and set during production.
Measure the front axle adjustments (toe and camber) and correct them.
MISSING WELDING POINTS AT BOTH FRONT SIDE MEMBERS
It has been determined that the A-Class 177 might have some missing welding points in the area of both front side members. It is possible that due to a deviation in the internal production process a couple of welding points could not have been set .
If these welding points are not present the structural behaviour would be impaired in the event of a crash. In this case an increased risk of injury for the passengers cannot be excluded. As a precautionary measure recall the affected vehicles and check the welding points and rework if necessary.
RISK OF FUEL LEAKAGE FROM TOP OF THE FUEL TANK
There is a risk of a fuel leak from the filler neck area of the fuel tank
On affected machines replace the fuel tank.
THERMAL DEGRADATION OF ACTUATION MODULE
The lift axle actuator may experience thermal degradation during operation. This may also impact on other modules relays etc.
On affected vehicles fit circuit protection diodes.
FRONT SWIVEL JOINT NUT INCORRECTLY SECURED ON WHEEL BEARING HOUSING (LEFT AND RIGHT)
On affected vehicles the nut of the bolted connections of the front (left and right) swivel joints on the wheel bearing housing may not have been tightened to the correct torque. in case of unusual mechanical noises the vehicle has to be stopped straight away and the workshop contacted control of the vehicle may be lost.
The nut of the bolted connection for the swivel joint on the front right and left wheel bearing housing has to be replaced.
VARIATION TO ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE IN THE BLOWER REGULATOR WIRING HARNESS CONNECTOR
Over time irregularities in the crimp connection in conjunction with relative movements of the tin coated connector at the end of the wiring harness which connects to the tin coated blower regulator pin could lead to frictional corrosion. In combination with very high current flow which would occur which could lead to a temperature increase. As a result the blower regulator wiring could be damaged and could lead to partial contact of individual wire strands. this could result in an irregular current flow further overheating and increase the risk of fire.
The blower regulator wiring harness will be inspected and a new part will be installed.
CONTACT BETWEEN FUEL TANK AND/OR AIRBOX DRAIN HOSES WITH HORIZONTAL CYLINDER EXHAUST MANIFOLD
Affected vehicles may have been fitted with incorrectly routed fuel tank and/or airbox drain tubes. This may cause contact with the horizontal cylinder exhaust manifold. This contact could result in a fire in the lower LH area under the battery.
On affected vehicles rerouting of the fuel tank and airbox drain hoses to prevent contact with the horizontal cylinder exhaust manifold.
FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYS AN INACCURATE READING
On certain 2018 and 2019 Model Year Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport PHEV vehicles where the indicated fuel level on the fuel gauge shows approximately 30% the fuel tank is empty resulting in an engine stall. The vehicle will enter into reduced performance mode and if the customer continues to drive the vehicle will continue to run for circa 8 miles/13Km. The vehicle engine will then cut out without warning. If the traction battery charge status is at least 10% or greater the electric motor will take up drive until such time as traction battery power is depleted. Where the traction battery charge status is below 10% drive from the electric motor is not possible and the vehicle will cut out whilst in motion. All 12 volt powered electrical functions such as power assisted steering exterior lighting and brake assistance will continue to operate as designed. Engine cut out with minimal warning to the driver may lead to an increased risk of an accident.
Fit a new revised fuel level sensor float to the vehicle.
