| POSSIBILITY OF FUEL LEAKAGE Issued 19:03:2007 |
|
Reference : R/2006/226
Manufacturer Ref : P001
Make: LAND ROVER
Model : DISCOVERY 3 - PETROL VARIANT
Launch Date : 19/03/2007
Numbers Involved : 96
Build Start Date : 03/05/2005
Build End Date : 28/09/2005
Concern : POSSIBILITY OF FUEL LEAKAGE
Description : It has been identified that on vehicles fitted with fuel tanks which incorporate an internal breather pipe, the breather pipe may not be to specification. This may result in swelling and cracking of a grommet and detachment of the breather pipe from a connector tube. In this condition fuel may enter the breather pipe resulting in MIL illumination, fuel odour and drivability concerns such as hesitation, misfiring, stalling, rough running or difficult starting. In the worst case, fuel may be discharged onto the ground.
Remedial Action : Recalled vehicles will have the fuel tank replaced.
Vehicle Id : SALLAAA445A342834 to SALLAAA546A359153
Not to be confused with last year’s Petrol variant recall
Reference : R/2006/069 D3 HSE V8...

Yes, it does. This is really old news, my tank was replaced under the recall over a year ago.
The dealer handled it really well... they already had replacement tanks waiting, and even filled the tank up with gas when they were done!

This is a new recall I think (March this year). There are two recalls on petrol variants. I had my fuel tank replaced on the first recall last year too. D3 HSE V8...
