2000 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY II Recalls (10)

Campaign:
00V036000 on 02/13/2000
Component:
Engine and engine cooling:engine
Manufactured:
05/31/1999 - 12/30/1999
Affected:
2,838
Defect:
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:
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.
Correction:
Dealers will install new hydraulic tubing.
Notes:
Owner notification began february 29, 2000.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 1-800-637-6837.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Defect:
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:

Affected:
21
Defect:
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:
This can lead to the solenoid experiencing excessive heat, which could potentially lead to a fire.

Campaign:
02V022000 on 01/25/2002
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock
Manufactured:
03/31/1998 - 07/30/2001
Affected:
55,505
Defect:
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:
This can lead to an increase in braking distance that is unanticipated by the driver.
Correction:
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.

Component:
Vehicle speed control
Manufactured:
03/31/1998 - 01/30/2002
Affected:
64,925
Defect:
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:
Breakage of the cable strands can result in the throttle being stuck in the open position, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
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.

Campaign:
04V005000 on 01/13/2004
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock
Manufactured:
04/30/1998 - 11/30/2003
Affected:
100,174
Defect:
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:
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.
Correction:
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.
Notes:
Land rover recall no. b148.customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Component:
Engine and engine cooling
Manufactured:
12/12/1999 - 06/16/2003
Affected:
5,264
Defect:
On certain sport utility vehicles, the active cornering enhancement (ace) pump banjo bolt looses torque and allows fluid to leak past the joint.
Consequence:
The fluid from the pump joint can ignite, resulting in an under hood fire.
Correction:
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.
Notes:
Land rover recall no. b149.customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Campaign:
12E010000 on 03/14/2012
Component:
Power train:driveline:driveshaft
Affected:
180
Defect:
Jaguar land rover north america, inc. (land rover) is recalling certain rear driveshaft couplings, land rover branded part number tvf100010, manufactured from april 2011 through november 2011, sold for use as service parts for certain model year 1995-1999 discovery, 1999-2004 discovery ii, and 1995 range rover classic vehicles. some of the rear driveshaft couplings may not have been manufactured to the required engineering design specifications and may exhibit the onset of joint separation, precluded by drive line vibration.
Consequence:
If this increased vibration warning sign is ignored, catastrophic failure of the drive coupling can occur. the driveshaft may detach from the vehicle while in motion resulting in loss of drive and loss of transmission park functionality, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash and/or injury.
Correction:
Land rover will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected rear driveshaft couplers free of charge. the safety recall began on may 4, 2012. owners may contact jaguar land rover north america at 1-201-818-8500.
Notes:
Land rover's recall campaign number is p024.owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .
