D3 Recall

[rmp]

From GoAuto:

"Meantime, owners of MY2007 and 2008 examples of the Discovery 3 and Rangie Sport have been asked to contact their nearest Land Rover dealer in relation to a high-pressure fuel-injection pump problem with 1667 vehicles carrying build numbers of between LA412125-LA4870333 (Discovery) and LS100008-LS181999 and LS980310-LS999998 (Range Rover Sport).

...

For Discovery and Range Rover Sport models built between November 2005 and April 2007 (carrying build numbers of LA367110-LA440000 and LS929086-LS117000 respectively), Land Rover has advised that oil may migrate from the engine-driven vacuum pump and collect in the brake booster.

...

At the same time, PSRA advises that Discovery and Range Rover Sport vehicles built between May 2007 and June 2009 (and carrying build dates of LA440001-LA513325 for the Disco and LS117001-LS215618 for the Rangie Sport) may experience “a temporary sticking of the vacuum non-return valve in the brake assistance vacuum pump mounted on the engine."

I put my car in for new tyres with Alto in Sydney on Tuesday. They ran the VIN through the system and the two recalls came up. They immediately started on fixing them.
When I picked the car up they told me that LRA instructions were to do the work immediately any vehicle which is affected came in for work (whether or not the owner requests the recall work).
Certainly suited me - I didn't need to make a special trip. :D

I have an Apr 09 build D3 and the dealer called me today that I was affected by the recall. He was going to do work on it Monday anyway, and he said of he the car and not the parts to do the recall work he wasn't allowed to give the car back. Obviously, we've rescheduled.
