Puma Defender Turbo Hose Recall Notice...Who's Received one?

AndyG / EastFreo,

I just checked my April build 14MY and it has the fix as per Grappler's second post so your July builds should be good!

So, I was wondering how many have "just" received a notice, and specifically what is the "fix" this time, 'cause there's been a few.
I guess if anyone had ref nos for this recall, it'd be handy, so I can quote them to my Dealer.

This is a recent recall notice. When I get home tonight, if no-one else has responded with the details for you, I'll let you know the numbers as they appeared on my service report. The dealer will know about it and I gather most dealers have been supplied with the kits ready to instal when vehicles come in for service. If you give the dealer your registration or VIN number they will be able to see if your vehicle is affected.

There has been some discussion here and ive posted a pic of the hose arrangment done a few days ago

The recall is Q360 and Q205

The spiral metal is uncovered, so seems like it's going to need an update.

If it looks like the first picture in post #22, there is a possibility the torx head pinch bolt on the steering uni., can hook up on the metal coil. I would be cautious about driving the vehicle if there is any chance the steering could foul

To their credit, LRA took this seriously, transporting the vehicle for safety reasons, to get the replacement done.

i received a latter last week

Just rang the local dealer to check if mine (late 2013 model) needed the update. Booked in for wednesday to get it done.

I eliminated turbo hose problems, be it through rubbing, delaminating or failing by having steel ones made and using decent turbo hose clamps with silicone ends. I could envisage problems with these due to their length.
