Recall P002 - Brake Light Switch Replacement
SECTION: 418
RECALL: Brake Light Switch Function Check
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
Freelander (LN)
VIN:
2A353298 to 2A399999
2A200003 to 4A299999
4A400001 to 5A491300
CONDITION SUMMARY:
CUSTOMER REQUESTED VERIFICATION OF CORRECT BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH OPERATION
Situation: Land Rover has identified a concern with the brake light switch on 2002 to 2005 model year Freelander vehicles in North America. The brake
lights may remain illuminated even when the brake pedal is not depressed. Improperly functioning brake lights could result in the vehicle being involved
in a crash.
The brake light switch may become maladjusted either as a result of an incorrect setting procedure at vehicle manufacture or as a result of the switch
mounting bracket flexing. This allows the switch contacts to remain permanently connected because the switch has reached the full extent of its travel.
Action: Land Rover has decided to recall affected vehicles to have the brake light switch replaced. However, because the new specification replacement
parts will not be available in quantity for some time, the initial letter of notification instructs the customer to check for correct operation of the brake
lights. Customers may also contact their Retailer for this inspection. If the inspection indicates a problem, an interim replacement of the brake light
switch is authorized under this Recall Action.
A second notification will be sent to all customers for a new specification brake light switch installation when the components are available. The second
Recall campaign will be designated "P004".
