- Summary
- On certain sport utility vehicles, the brake lights may remain illuminated even when the brake pedal is not depressed. Hill descent control (hdc), traction control (tc) and cruise control warning lights may also be illuminated.
- Consequence
- Failure to provide the proper signal when braking could lead to a crash without warning.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect the brake lamp operation and where required, adjust and/or replace the brake light switches with new switches of the same design until a newly designed brake lamp switch is available in may 2007. Owners will then be re-notified to bring their vehicles in for the new brake light switch. An interim letter for the initial inspection was mailed on March 26, 2007. The second letter for replacement of the switches was mailed beginning July 30, 2007. Owners may contact land rover at 1-80-637-6837.

Has your Land Rover been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Land Rover dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
