How do you know it has not been done?

If you enter you Vin into TOPix it should tell you if it was done. When I bought my RRS in 2010 it was through TOPix that I found that neither of the recalls (brake and injector pump) had been done.

LR should honour the recall if it has not been done - if not I would be squealing to the relevant safety authorities.

Thanks Garry,

TOPix says nothing about recalls for my vehicle, not sure if that means it has been done or hasn't?

Cheers,

My mates had been done!
Non return valve between vacuum pump and booster had been replaced. Booster was original. The recall was to replace the non return valve and check for oil in the booster, replace booster if oil present.
Booster has been replaced if part number is SJJ500090

When you open your Vin Number - to the right and slightly above of the the pic of the vehicle it should say there.

Mine says:

Outstanding Campaigns: There are currently no outstanding Field Service Actions for this vehicle

When I bought mine it listed the outstanding recalls. If there was a time limit that has expired maybe it changes to "no outstanding field service actions" or in fact the work has been done.

Have you had the fuel injection pump replaced under a recall at the same time??

To confirm, you need o go to a dealer with your VIN and get them to look it up.

Thanks Garry,

Yep it shows no outstanding field service actions, and the injection pump has been done according to the manual.

I have only owned the D3 for a few months,

I will call the stealer with the VIN tomorrow, bit worrying as a total brake failure I'm sure is just around the corner.

Anyone know what it costs to fix if they will not honor the recall?

Cheers,
Ben

Did you know that applying the park brake will do an emergency stop after a couple of seconds of beeping?

If you have paid to have it done ask for a refund.
If you are about to have it done let them know it is part of the recall.

If your vin is not there I would still check if you have oil in the brake line if so get them to do it as it is a known issue and safety related.

Calling Trivett now! Wish me luck.

My VIN is not listed in that document...

Is there oil in the brake vac line. There is a connector not far from the booster, stick you finger over the pipe and see if there is oil on it then undo the connection on the booster and stick something in to see if it had oil in it.
If there is you may have to fight but they should fix for free.
