Steering / Column
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Land rover is recalling 37,142 my 2005-2006 lr3 and range rover sport vehicles. Relative motion between the steering wheel hub and/or the steering column cowl with the clockspring, which includes the driver side air bag circuitry, could result in fracturing of the air bag wiring connection. If an air bag wire fractures, the SRS warning light will illuminate on the instrument cluster. The SRS warning light indicates to the driver that there is a concern with the SRS system in the vehicle and that immediate repair is necessary.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the SRS warning light is ignored and a vehicle crash of sufficient severity to command deployment of the driver's air bag occurs, the air bag module may not deploy in the intended manner. The condition may result in the deployment of only one stage of the dual stage driver's air bag or the air bag may not deploy at all increasing the risk of serious injuries to the driver.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will insert 1mm spacers between the lower left hand side of the column switch mounting point and the column lock to improve the alignment of the column switch. Two foam pads will also be fitted to the top of the steering column switch gear to provide assured clearance between the cowl and the clockspring face. The recall began on july 30, 2008. Owners may contact land rover at 1-800-637-6837.

Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components / Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain vehicles fitted with 9j-19 inch diameter wheels, during certain vehicle maneuvers when the steering system is on full left lock and the suspension is moving towards full compression, the left front brake hose and/or the ABS wheel speed sensor lead and/or the brake pad wear warning sensor lead can catch on the wheel balance weight as the wheel rotates.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This may lead to warnings of premature brake pad wear, warnings of ABS failure, or extended brake pedal travel and loss of one of the hydraulic service braking system circuits, which could result in a crash.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will inspect the left front brake flexi-pipe assembly and replace it if it exhibits signs of chafing, and also to replace the left front 'clip-on' wheel balance weights with 'stick-on' wheel balance weights. The recall began on june 30, 2006. Owners may contact land rover at 1-201-818-8500.
