MANUFACTURER: Land Rover
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V135000 MFG'S REPORT DATE: April 18, 2006
COMPONENT: Service Brakes, Hydraulic: Foundation Components: Hoses, Lines/Piping, and Fittings
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 10791
SUMMARY:
On certain vehicles fitted with 9J-19 inch diameter wheels, during certain vehicle maneuvers when the steering system is on full left lock and the
suspension is moving towards full compression, the left front brake hose and/or the abs wheel speed sensor lead and/or the brake pad wear warning
sensor lead can catch on the wheel balance weight as the wheel rotates.
CONSEQUENCE:
This may lead to warnings of premature brake pad wear, warnings of ABS failure, or extended brake pedal travel and loss of one of the hydraulic service
braking system circuits, which could result in a crash.
REMEDY:
Dealers will inspect the left front brake flexi-pipe assembly and replace it if it exhibits signs of chafing, and also to replace the left front "clip-on" wheel
balance weights with "stick-on" wheel balance weights. The recall is expected to begin on May 22, 2006. Owners may contact Land Rover at
1-201-818-8500.
