No worries, it'll be interesting to see how many of us receive any "notice".
Pickles.

Mine was in the letterbox today for a late 2013 110.

It's the same letter as posted previously by wally

Oh well, an opportunity for the dealer to see to a couple of other things at the same time rather than waiting to next service

Nice work Erich.
That's one heck of a turbo hose. No wonder it's flopping around and wearing through.
To confirm, is this the cold side turbo outlet (to intercooler?)

Ive received no notice for my 2013 90, but that doesnt surprise me. They have been completely hopeless on every single occasion that I have had the displeasure of dealing with them.

Love the vehicle, but the dealers are the worst Ive ever experienced.

Got my letter late last week.
Just need to decide which dealer to take it to as none are convenient to home or work!

We haven't had anything either but I think some of us wont. I believe LR have had a couple of cracks at fixing the issue, and a few hose/clip variants are out there in circulation. We got told some time ago by a service guy that we had "one of the good ones", could of been BS too I guess, time will tell. Is it a specific VIN range?

Otherwise completely agree with your sentiments.

Hey Pickles I just received my letter for my 90 yesterday. You will probably get one soon. Turbo6 hadn't received a letter but he called MLR yesterday and booked in for the recall work to be carried out on the 16th.

hi there its not just in Australia England have the same problem to .had a chat to the social media executive so title said that there hasn't been a recall on this problem but I had already spoke to land rover lister big franchise and there told me that there a recall on this hose with out me asking him , I tried to order this part through lister but was told you cant buy this hose due to the recall .so who is lying .the man with ink on his hands or the one with oil
