1995 Land Rover Range Rover recalls (7)
Tap a recall to see the problem, the risk and the fix.
Engine and engine cooling:cooling system:hoses/lines/piping/fittings
Problem: Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. Coolant system leaks have been identified in areas where the coolant could be subjected to elevated temperatures.
Risk: Consequently, the fluid could ignite causing an under-hood fire.
Fix: Dealers will make a series of modifications to several underhood hose components to eliminate the release of engine coolant.
Engine and engine cooling
Problem: Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. As a result of water ingress and subsequent ice blockage, the transmission breather tube can become clogged, expelling transmission fluid from the dipstick tube onto hot engine components.
Risk: This leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in an underhood fire.
Fix: Dealers will remove the transmission breather tube from the inner fender and a section of the hose will be cut at an angle. This action will remove the end of the breather tube from any pooled water and will eliminate water droplets from clinging to the end of the tube.
Engine and engine cooling
Problem: Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. Certain underhood hose and tubing components can fail allowing fluid to leak, such as engine coolant, windshield wiper fluid, and automatic transmission fluid.
Risk: This leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in an underhood fire.
Fix: Dealers will inspect these vehicles and replace these components. Note that not all components will need to be replaced.
Vehicle speed control; air bags:frontal
Problem: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. As a result of chaffing of a cruise control wire, the steering wheel rotary coupler can overheat and inadvertently deploy the driver's air bag.
Risk: Deployment of the air bag restraint system without warning can cause a driver to lose vehicle control.
Fix: Dealers will install a fusible link which will protect the rotary coupler from overheating.
Suspension:rear
Problem: The rear radius arm, which locates the rear axle, can fail at the extruded aluminum chassis eye end.
Risk: A broken radius arm can allow movement of the rear axle and vehicle instability.
Fix: Dealers will replace the rear radius arm assemblies.
Engine and engine cooling:engine
Problem: The idler pulley, part of the engine front end serpentine belt system, can fail resulting in serpentine belt damage or disengagement.
Risk: Disengagement of the pulley on the roadway can cause harm to pedestrians and other vehicles. Also, failure of the belt causes aloss of power steering assist which can increase the potential for an accident.
Fix: Dealers will replace the idler pulley with a newly designed idler pulley.
Service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings
Problem: A flexible brake hose that connects the hydraulic pump to the anti-lock brake system (abs) valve block assembly can leak causing loss of brake fluid.
Risk: Loss of brake fluid can result in the inoperation of primary brake circuit, including the rear brakes, and loss of abs operation with a consequent reduction in braking performance and possible increased braking distances. Also, brake fluid leakage in the engine compartment could cause a fire if there is a source of ignition.
Fix: Dealers will inspect the vehicles to determine if it is fitted with the suspect hose and then replace the suspect hose with the latest design.
