    Yes. In theory some recalls have an expiry date but LR will cover them after that. I had a couple completed on my 1987 RR in 2000.

    It is a safety recall that should have been included in the original. Being safety related they must rectify.

    Extension not on DOTARS site yet.

    Brake Booster Recall

    Hi I had the same problem with my 05 D3 TDV6, regularly serviced at Austral in Brisbane, I had to advise them that I had a problem with the brakes, they did not seem to know what was wrong where do I find the recall info?
    Thanks for posting the thread.

    Brake Booster recall extended to other VINs

    Hi
    I had the problem and it allmost caused a car on a 110kph streach of road to T bone me , because I could not stop . The yard I got the car from fixed it, no charge, even though my year is 05 and then out of recall. You will know if you have the problem, it will feel like the brake pedel has been bolted into position then your sphincter gauge will go crazy. GET IT DONE !!
    If you dont know if it has been done on your car it is a new pipe with a T junction and a one way valve in it running from your booster to the vac pump. The booster will have to be renewed as well as it will be damaged by oil. Mine had a Lt in it.

    A major failure requires the oil to reach the booster but even if it just in vac hose it will cause greater pressure to be needed to brake. This happens slowly so you may not notice.
    Get it looked at if you are in any doubt.

    Just took my Disco in for them to check something else and mentioned the recall. They checked on the system but there were no outstanding recalls showing for my car.

    I explained that my VIN was specifically listedon the recall and have e-mailed it to them but unfortunately suspect they will just take a "Computer Says No" attitude!

    Anyone else tried to progress this - perhaps I may have been a bit trigger happy seeing as the recall was only dated 19 July?

    Will update once I know more

    Cheers
    Darren

    I have received the same "the computer says no" initial response from the only dealer in Adelaide.
    LR Australia customer service and the dealer have now agreed to investigate so we just wait.

    Get them to put it in writing an then tell them in wroting that they are responible if you have an accident.

    Did you give them the recall number for them to look up?
