Yep, you ate right. I have mine booked in next week and have been told that there are two updates to do ,one is a new turbo hose and the other is some sort of bracket to stop rubbing in the same area. Mine is a 2012 model.

Yes what year are you talking ............my 2013/90 had issues with intercooler hose fouling a steering knuckle, no recall just fixed myself with cable tie................bit disapointed with dealer problem managment after their heater intake fix
Cheers
My 2012 130 had a failed turbo hose during its first year. Flat bedded to Perth and the new hose installed had a wire coil around it. I wonder if this is the same solution as the recall.
My son has a 2012 110 and he has been advised of a recall on the turbo hose. Will be interested to see what the solution will be there.
Seat belts is the only recall I have been advised about by LR
I had a radiator hose rub thru on the left side of the motor... Was told initially that there were no recalls, drove it for 3 days while I waited for a booking and was told that there was actually a recall..maybe the same one??
Had a call today from my local dealer (Mac Land Rover at Millicent SA) with the same message.
Apparently LR have re-designed the turbo hose so it's not so close to the steering shaft. Also includes different design for the hose clips to mount it at each end.
They've replaced two already...one which had failed and one just about to fail.
My Defender is late 2013.

My 2013 model had a turbo hose fail and put me in limp home mode last week, just a year old and 17,000km
It wasn't the turbo hose I expected (the one above steering shaft). It was on the one on the other side after the inter cooler
I haven't heard anything about a recall from the dealer yet but I did just this week book my MY12 D90 in at Southern Land Rover in Cannington, Perth for a 30k service. I'll be interested in finding out about it on Monday to make sure they include the fix at the same time as I can't afford the time to have to take it back again another day.
I had my MY14 in last week and they didn't mention anything, but it may already have the upgraded spec part installed (must check when I get home)
Mine's 2012. I had a failed turbo hose at about 16000km. It didn't rub through on anything - it just split. The dealer replaced it with one that looks like what's fitted to 2014 models. I'll be pleased if they've come up with a reliable design. I've never been entirely satisfied that it's properly fixed, and it's always at the back of my mind when I'm driving it.Quote:

And yes counting the days ............
