SERVICE ACTION
Fluid Reservoir Cap - New Part Introduction
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
Range Rover (LP)
All up to YA428098
SITUATION:
INCORRECT FILLING OF BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR
There is a potential for the addition of fluids other than brake fluid to the brake system reservoir during normal maintenance. The filler cap installed up
to VIN YA428098 lacks the distinguishing characteristics to ensure that only brake fluid is added to the reservoir.
RESOLUTION:
INTRODUCTION OF HIGH VISIBILITY CAP
To help eliminate the potential for the addition of fluids other than brake fluid to the brake system reservoir during maintenance, a new reservoir cap has
been introduced. The cap is visually different in both appearance and color. The new cap is yellow with embossed lettering in black, identifying that
brake fluid only is to be installed in this reservoir.
At the next available service opportunity fit the new reservoir cap. All used vehicles in retailer inventory must have the new cap fitted prior to retail sale.
