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. |

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. |

264 vehicles |
|
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 |
| Range
Rover Sport SALLSAA136A916990 to SALLSAA536A920909, Range Rover

881 vehicles |
|
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. |

|
Possibility of stress cracks in the plastic fuel tank |
|
SALLHAMM3KA637653 to SALLHAMM3MA664120 |
|
18991 vehicles |
|
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. |

|
27 August 1998 to 4 April 2000 |
|
1316 vehicles |
|
The engine idler pulley may fracture
and fragment, resulting in loss of drive belt which in turn will
render the cooling, power steering, ACE and electrical charging
systems inoperative. |
| Recall
affected vehicle and replace idler pulley with modified type. |

|
13 July 1999 to 13 December 1999 |
|
2289 vehicles |
|
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. |

TRANSMISSION PARK LOCK FUNCTION |

Investigations have identified that
in certain circumstances water can migrate up the breather pipe and
into the gearbox, and if allowed to continue, causes corrosion of
the park lock mechanism. Although park lock can appear to be
selected the mechanism may not engage. If the park lock function is
selected to solely sustain the vehicle in a parked condition and the
mechanism has not engaged, this may result in the vehicle rolling
away. |
| Recall
affected vehicles and reroute the gearbox breather pipe. |

The Active Cornering Enhancement
(ACE) high pressure hose may under certain conditions, fracture and
leak fluid due to the absence of an anti-vibration attenuator within
the assembly. A hose failure will revert the vehicle handling back
to non-ACE operation, this would be progressively accompanied by
amber and red warning lights on the instrument console. In extreme
circumstances, should the vehicle continue to be driven and
sufficient fluid be expelled into the engine bay and an ignition
source is present, the fluid may ignite. |
| Recall
affected vehicles and where an attenuator is not present, the high
pressure hose will be replaced. |

|
June 1995 to August 1995 |
|
5599 vehicles |
|
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. |

Between 10 July 1998 and 8 June 1999 |

9296 vehicles |
|
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 |
| Recall
affected vehicles and replace the ABS relay with a quality assured
unit. |

R/2006/069 |
|
Fuel may leak |
|
SALLAAA545A000360 to SALLAAA445A342827 |
|
696 vehicles |
|
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 driveability concerns such as hesitation, misfiring, stalling,
rough running or difficult starting. In the worst case, fuel may be
discharged onto the ground. |
| Recall
affected vehicles and replace the fuel tank. |

|
Vehicle may become unstable if jacked |
|
SALLAAA185A320952 to SALLAAA176A357812 |
|
200 vehicles |
|
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 that the rear fuel line may chafe against harness |
|
SALLTGM981A736101 to SALLTGM834A865281 |
|
32245 vehicles |
|
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. |

The right hand front door may not
latch properly. The recall involves checking the operation of the
right hand front door and fitting of a modified screw to the lock. |
| Where the
check indicates the latch may be binding this will be replaced as
well. |

|
THROTTLE CABLE CONCERN |
|
XA900000 TO XA907214 |
|
2818 vehicles |
|
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 calbe for damage and replace where necessary. |

R2001/169 |
|
REDUCED BRAKING EFFICIENCY CONCERN |
|
XA900000 TO XA907214 |
|
29777 vehicles |
|
Land Rover has identified a
malfunction within the anti lock braking system electronics which is
caused by a spurious electrical signal. This fault can cause a
reduction in braking efficiency. |
| Fit a new
anti lock braking system control unit which has revised software. |

|
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 may stick in open position |
|
3A805635 to 3A814411 |

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. |

Possibility of underbonnet fire |
|
SALLTGM94YA263532 to SALLTGM944A836580 |
|
28194 vehicles |
|
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. |
