DETAIL

A number of reports have been received that have detailed intermittant operation of reverse lights when reverse gear is selected. Investigation by transmissions has identified a tolerance issue that had arisen during gearbox build. This concern has now been addressed at point of manufacture by a design change to the gearbox quadrant on Defender derivatives and gearbox yoke on Range Rover and Discovery derivatives. A service fix, as detailed below, has been developed for vehicles in use.

ACTION REQUIRED

Upon customer complaint of reverse lights remaining on or intermittant operation, remove the washer from behind the reverse light switch, if reverse lights still remain on due to a faulty switch, renew the switch. Please submit a Product Report providing full vehicle details.
