Thread: Brake Booster recall extended to other VINs

Checked the D3 when the Boss got home, found oil in the brake Vacuum line rechecked the recall document and found my vin. Just got off the phone to Purnell Motors and they have booked me in for next Thursday to do the required repairs. Cannot Thank you guys enough

Thanks for the thread guys.

I took the advice from this thread and called Austral in Brisbane. There were no questions about year or VINs just booked it in and they did the recall work on the brake line.

While it was in they noted there was a recall on some washer/connection in the steering column. This was changed also. Thought you should know about this one as I haven’t seen anything on the threads about it.

They also fixed the handbrake squeal and this was for a fee.

Thanks again for this thread.

Cheers PK

Got my letter this week. Already done though and charged to Allianz.

Peter see if you can get a copy of the TSB (or at least the TSB number)

Whats the deal with being informed about recalls? We got ours throu a LR dealer but havent even had a letter on the brake recall - only found out about through here and got it done?

Do the letters come from LR direct or the dealer?

Cheers

The letter comes from LRA but only if their records are up to date. They need to be informed of sales of S/H vehicles.

The Hand Brake was a separate issue and not covered by the recall. Just making sure I wasn't confusing anyone.

Will find the paperwork about the washer in the steering.

Just realised the washer thing is probably the clock spring. Causes cruise cintrol to stop working and the airbag light to come on.
Was a TSB, interesting to know if they have made it a recall. Dealer may have just done it as a TSB.

Just remember good people that 3 years 100,000k is your minimum warranty. It is a manufacturer's voluntary warranty - it does not necessarily represent the statutory 'warranties' under the Trade Practices Act for merchantable quality and fitness for purpose. I have pushed before outside warranty with success - with GMH and LR.
