- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This can lead to an increase in braking distance that is unanticipated by the driver.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will install a new ECU. Owner notification began march 6, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact land rover at 1-301-731-9040.

Electronic Stability Control / Automatic (Asc)
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. The loading conditions on the vehicle's left side engine idler pulley can exceed the maximum calculated figure of the original design specification. The material of the pulley can fracture and ultimately fail. Failure of the pulley material can cause the pulley to throw off the serpentine belt.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This could result in a loss of engine auxiliary functions (power steering, water pump, alternator, air conditioning and ace).
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will install an improved idler pulley.

- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with active cornering enhancement (ace). The loading conditions on the vehicle's left side engine idler pulley can exceed the maximum calculated figure of the original design specification. The material of the pulley can fracture and ultimately fail. Failure of the pulley material can cause the pulley to throw off the serpentine belt.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This could result in a loss of engine auxiliary functions (power steering, water pump, alternator, air conditioning and ace).
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will install an improved idler pulley.

- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles equipped with active cornering enhancement (ace). The high-pressure hydraulic pipe that runs from the ace pump to the ace valve block could fracture at its union with the pump.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This will result in a loss of hydraulic fluid. A low fluid level can subsequently result in system pump failure which will throw off the auxiliary drive belt, resulting in a loss of engine auxiliary functions (power steering assist, water pump, alternator, and air conditioning). In extreme circumstances, there is a possibility that the hydraulic fluid could ignite, resulting in an engine compartment fire.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will install new hydraulic tubing.
