MODEL
1996 Discovery
AFFECTED VEHICLES
TA1631O4 to TA174932

DETAIL
Brake squeal can occur when high-performance brakes are lightly applied.
New anti-squeal shims have been installed at the Factory beginning with VIN TA174932 and TA505844. The shims reduce the tendency for brakes to
squeal when customers brake lightly.
The new shims are currently approved for 1996 model Discovery only. Do not install shims in 1994-95 models.
ACTION REQUIRED
Install shims in early 1996 vehicles prior to delivery, or at the customers convenience during a service visit.
