Posted on: 2002-01-26
Description
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.
Corrective Action
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.

Posted on: 2000-10-19
Description
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
This could result in a loss of engine auxiliary functions (power steering, water pump, alternator, air conditioning and ace).

DEFECT #5 - ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
Posted on: 2000-02-14
Description
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.
Corrective Action

DEFECT #7 - POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DRIVESHAFT
Posted on: 2012-03-15
Description
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.
