Squeak/Rattle From Spare Wheel

MODEL

New Range Rover All Derivatives

DETAIL

A number of reports have been received which indicate a squeak/rattle emanating from the rear load space area, investigations have found that the spare wheel retaining plate is not sufficently clamping the spare wheel.

To improve the situation initiatives have been introduced to fit 4 off solid rubber pads to the feet of the spare wheel retaining plate, this will allow the spare to be held more securely.

A revised retaining plate will be introduced shortly.

Upon customer complaint of a squeak/rattle from the spare wheel carrier, follow the procedure below.
