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

Presume only those within the warranty period get recalls done for free?

Sam, 2010 110

If the recall is in your VIN range, you should get the recall work done for no charge. especially from a safety aspect. There is potential for steering failure.

Give your local dealer a call

Received a recall letter today for our 130 but not for the 90 (2 months difference in build date) at present 90 has a cable tie lifting hose away from steering knuckle and to be honest haven't had time to stick my head under 130
Rang stealers about letter and booked in 130 no problems when I mentioned 90 had the same problem they said it could only be fixed if within vin range and I would need another letter from Land Rover.
according to them (stealers) the letters are sent out in number batches and parts must come from Melbourne
From this I gather that I should get a letter in the future if not I'll get it addressed at service time.
the other interesting thing they said was if the fault had been rectified in the factory at build stage there would be a sticker on the windscreen stating Q360v2.............they didn't say if this was removable or not, actually I didn't ask
This must be costing LR a lot of $
Cheers

both recall threads merged

So does anyone know the actual vin range (s) this applies to?

Got second recall notice for the 90 in mail today both vehicles booked for same day
Cheers

Who should i be asking? I dont have a local dealer and the one i bought it from is completely useless. I wouldnt trust them to be able to post a letter.

Like I said, there's been various fixes for the turbo hose,...I think.
As far as I'm aware there's been the "coiled spring" around the hose, then there's been a plastic "tie" around the hose, and I've heard that the latest is a "bracket" to hold whatever hose you have in place.
However, I've seen nothing from Landrover, so I can't confirm what the "final" fix is.
