Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Antilock/Traction Control/Electronic Limited Slip
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Certain sport utility vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standards no. 105, "hydraulic and electric brake systems," and no. 135, "passenger car brake systems." the anti-lock braking system (ABS) modulator valve cover retaining bolts can crack due to stresses transmitted by the flexing valve covers.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This can produce an unexpected increase in stopping distance, with the potential for total loss of service braking function, which could result in a crash.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will strengthen the ABS modulator assembly valve covers and replace the retaining bolts. Owner notification is exepcted to begin during may 2004. Owners should contact land rover at 1-800-637-6837.
Report filed by LAND ROVER. Manufacturer campaign number B148. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .
04V006000Received . 5,264 units.
Engine and Engine Cooling
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain sport utility vehicles, the active cornering enhancement (ace) pump banjo bolt looses torque and allows fluid to leak past the joint.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
The fluid from the pump joint can ignite, resulting in an under hood fire.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will inspect the vehicles for leakage. If no leakage is evident, the banjo bolt will be re-tightened. If leakage is evident, the banjo bolt and dowty washers will be replaced. Owner notification is expected to begin during may 2004. Owners should contact land rover at 1-800-637-6837.
Report filed by LAND ROVER. Manufacturer campaign number B149. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .
02V028000Received . 64,925 units.
Vehicle Speed Control
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On some sport utility vehicles, the accelerator cable could have become kinked during vehicle assembly, resulting in chaffing of the cable. Continued chaffing can lead to breakage of the interior cable strands.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Breakage of the cable strands can result in the throttle being stuck in the open position, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will inspect and replace the damaged cables where necessary. 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.
Report filed by LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA, INC.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .
02V022000Received . 55,505 units.
Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Antilock/Traction Control/Electronic Limited Slip
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain sport utility vehicles, contamination of an anti-lock braking system (ABS) sensor can cause the ABS electronic control unit (ECU) to incorrectly interpret the sensor signal, resulting in inappropriate ABS activation.
- 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.

01V229001Received . 21 units.
Equipment / Mechanical / Winch
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with warn industries' winch kits. A power interrupt solenoid, possibly included in the winch assembly, can develop an electrical leak path to ground.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This can lead to the solenoid experiencing excessive heat, which could potentially lead to a fire.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will call owners to arrange for an inspection time to determine if a defective power interrupt solenoid was installed. If it was, the solenoid will be replaced. Owner notification began august 13, 2001. 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.
Report filed by LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA, INC.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: .
00V423000Received . 38 units.
Engine and Engine Cooling / Engine
- 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.

00V142001Received . 36,911 units.
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.
