   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: 2 Jun 2004.

2. 04V006000Received 6 Jan 2004. 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: 2 Jun 2004.

3. 02V028000Received 23 Jan 2002. 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.

4. 02V022000Received 22 Jan 2002. 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.

   Report filed by LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA, INC.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 6 Mar 2002.

5. 01V229001Received 6 Jul 2001. 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.
