Ride Height Sensor Service Action
Forum Thread Official VIN Range: LA461580 - LA513324 A limited number of vehicles experience corrosion of the ride height sensors due to porosity of the plastic body of the part.
Brake Vacuum Assistance System
Forum Thread Official VIN Range: LA367110 – LA513325 Oil can collect in the brake booster causing a progressive loss of brake assistance, resulting in hard brake pedal and increased stopping distances for the same pedal effort. There have been reported cases of this affecting vehicles outside the above VIN range.
High Pressure Fuel Pump – Front Bearing Failure
Forum Thread Official VIN Range: LA412125 – LA487033 Land Rover has identified a concern with the high pressure fuel pump fitted to a specific number of Discovery 3 vehicles with the EU4 TDV6 engine. The high pressure fuel pump may fail due to poor lubrication of the fuel pump front bearing.
Incorrect Jack Fitted (Coil Suspension)
Forum Thread It is possible that some coil suspension vehicles have the incorrect jack fitted - they should be fitted with bottle rather than scissor jacks. Full list of VIN numbers in the linked thread.
Auto Transmission Park Problem
Forum Thread When the gearlever is moved into the 'park' position, and indicators suggest the car has been secured, the brake may not be applied. VIN range 354299 to 361594 affected.
