LR have been aware of the problem for a long time but have failed to issue a recall. They finally did but restricted the range despite being aware other earlier builds were having the same issue. Evil or Very Mad
They are lucky there have not been any more serious consequences. â€œThere are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games”

Mine is going in tomorrow for three recalls since i bought it in Feb. Looks like this one, the hp fuel pump and the suspension sensors.

It's my08, so maybe LR have extended the recalls.

Any issues with this then tell DOTARS; this guy is aware of the issue: Ross Pettersson
Email him the details of the incident.

Brake recall - extension!

Hi Folks,
I just saw this and thought everyone outside the initial recall would be interested! 8)

http://www.recalls.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/989275

It says:
VIN Range:
Discovery 3 LA000005 - LA513325
Range Rover Sport LS900002 - LS999999 & LS100000 - LS215618

Have fun!

Cheers,
Rob

Reduced Brake Assistance

I have noticed the dreaded increased pedal pressure on my 07 TDV6, and this is with both recalls supposedly done. Had a very scary moment at <10K's an hour, down a steep drive, where I couldn't stop the car(had to flick it in to neutral and engage the EPB).

I have done 60,000K and will be going back to Landrover in the new year with the symptoms....

Anyone else in a similar situation?

Maybe they didn't check the booster for oil and change the servo? The oil will eventually affect the seals. â€œThere are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games”

Hi,
mine is an August 2004 TDV6 one.

Last Tuesday, during the Service, they applied the recall for free (of course Whistle ).

I got no communication Twisted Evil by mail, etc... (I bought it as a used car). So, I thought it would be important letting the people know about it through this forum...

Cheers,
David.

recall !

Gents , does anyone know what this recall is about - just saw it on the VOSA website , rang my dealer since my VIN is right in the middle of the range - they checked and said my Disco was upto date with all recalls ?

from the VOSA website below :

The front pump bearing on some aftermarket replacement High Pressure Fuel Pumps may fail due to lack of sufficient lubrication. This will cause failure of the shaft seal, which will cause a fuel leak and if not rectified, could cause a vehicle fire.
Remedial Action : Recall affected vehicles and replace fuel pump with the latest specification pump.
Vehicle Id : SALLAAA147A412306 to SALLAAA149A512711
SALLSAA147A983192 to SALLSAA649A215295

After a 2nd heart stopping moment I can state that it is not the booster but the sticking non-return valve... I will be calling LR tomorrow.
