2005 Land Rover LR3 recalls, newest first

June 4, 2008NHTSA 08V24800037,142 vehicles potentially affected

Steering › Column

Summary: 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: 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: 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.

Fuel system, gasoline › Storage

Summary: Some sport utility vehicles may have fuel tanks that contain an internal breather pipe that was not made to specification. This could result in excessive swelling and cracking of a grommet and subsequent detachment of the breather pipe from a connector tube. When the fuel level in the tank is above the level of the detached joint, fuel may then enter the breather pipe and excess fuel may be discharged onto the ground.
Consequence: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the fuel tanks. The recall began on March 12, 2007. Owners may contact land rover at 1-800-637-6837.
