AFFECTED RANGE:

All derivatives prior to VIN XA 640215

PROBLEM:

FRONT GRILLE BADGE ADRIFT The Land Rover marque badge is detached from its location on the front grille.

CAUSE:

The adhesive coated backing material of the badge lacks sufficient flexibility to follow the contours of the mounting surface on the grille, resulting in poor adhesion.

ACTION:

Replacement badges having a more flexible backing material which will allow the adhesive film to conform to the grille surface were introduced at the above VIN. These badges are now available from Land Rover Parts. On customer complaint of grille badge adrift, fit a replacement of the improved type. Refer to PARTS INFORMATION for details.

NOTE: this badge is also fitted to the tail door handle where the new badge is also interchangeable with the old.
