The front Puma axle saga continues.

The notice from Vehiclerecalls is dated 22nd August 2022, so in the 12 weeks since, JLR hasn't even contacted owners, let alone inspected or done any type of rectification. Mustn't consider it a serious problem.[bighmmm]

It's only take JLR 13 months to pull their finger out & go from telling me there is no issue to "URGENT SAFETY RECALL" which arrived yesterday in the mail. It will be interesting to see if they have the bracket already in stock, or I have to wait for someone else to get their act together.
I will update when I contact a dealer on Tuesday.:bangin:

The 90 is going to the dealer in a couple of weeks, giving them time to acquire the brackets.

The dealer fitted the 'catch' brackets to both ends of the front axle yesterday.
Apparently I can now drive confidently that nothing bad will happen. [bighmmm] if only it was that simple.:Thump:

Ckickie they did my 2012 about 7 or 8 years ago.

Have they sent you the recall notification?

No they haven’t. I approached them in August 22 when the recall was first announced and after some farting about (I had to prove I was the legal owner as they only recognized the original purchaser) they confirmed that the vehicle was indeed in the recall. Subsequent enquires via email I get this standard reply

“Jaguar Land Rover Australia, in due course, will send formal communication to our customers with affected vehicles once the recall campaign is launched, confirming any action which needs to be taken.”

And that’s it! Pretty poor really but about what I have come to expect from them.

I just got my recall notice for our 2012 90.

I would kind of rather do the 'fix' myself as I service everything else on the car. Also annoying it has to be a dealer as my usual garage does a great job (they did my clutch).

Oh well off to the dealer we go.

Another incident has been reported on Defender2.

Reminds me I need to chase up LR re our 90 and see if they respond.
