Thread: RECALL ISSUES

Might pay to have a look on https://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/t...vkPER.prs72696

Put your VIN in, and check for completed & outstanding service items.

Depending on if & when it was done, I wouldn't think you would have much chance of getting it fixed again.

But, that said, it is worth a shot, especially if you can go back to the same dealer.

Hey Disco22.
A subject I know all about. Yep, I got the recall notice and my D2a went in for the, so called "repair". Thought nothing more of it. Fast forward to 2009. We went on a holiday to show the kids snow, search for "stuck in the snowies" for all the details but turned out the green banded pressure line had chaffed through and fuel was spraying everywhere. By that stage it was well out of warranty. Did not pursue it any further. It is an easy fix with a 40 dollar part. Plus a lot of extra insulation to stop it from hapening again. If you want me to describe what I did in detail let me know.

If it isn't too much trouble I would love to know what you did to rectify the problem.
I am not much of a mechanic at all, and do not seem to be getting anywhere fast with Land Rover, so will probably have to bite the bullet myself.


Cheers

Most likely, it will be the "green" banded hose that has rubbed through. When you get the new one, tape the rubbed areas with heaps of electrical tape and thread on some plastic flex conduit. Also, cable ties are your FRIEND!!!!. I found an article on a UK site that will answer all your questions and its pretty much how I fixed my car, with pictures. Have a look and if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me. Click on the link below.
Ps: have the fuel tank as empty as possable before you start.

My disco chaffed through the diesel lines once before and once after the recall. The second time, I slit soft rubber hose and covered the fuel lines from beginning to end, securing with cable ties. No further trouble since or expected.

Has anyone actually gone back to land rover after the recall?


I have done a little bit of research and contacted the QLD office of fair trading and the ACCC.


The ACCC have suggested that if in fact the problem is caused by chaffing, Land Rover would have to complete the repairs free of charge, and if there are enough cases, issue a further recall.


I have been advised to take the vehicle back to land rover to have it repaired. This will most likely be at my expense. I will then send a report to the ACCC who will conduct their investigation into it and get back to me when completed. This will take some time I would imagine, but may result in land rover issuing another recall, and would refund the repair costs.


The earliest I can get a booking at Land Rover is Monday 14JAN14.
Will see what they come back with.

What ended up being the outcome after speaking with land rover?

I've had that green hose chafe through three times. Recall was done, then chafed through under factory warranty, then once again under extended warranty, then again afterwards. I ended up fixing it by wrapping the pipe in some heater hose to protect it. Land rover will just replace the pipe, not fix the chafing point.

A search will find some old discussions between robbotd5 and myself, including my fix if I recall correctly....

Cheers,
