Good Point Peterall,

For all those new to the LR brand & have purchased a 2nd hand vehicle from either a dealer or non dealer it is essential that the details of "New Ownership" be forwarded to "Land Rover Australia".

In the vehicle's Service Book, is a page that can be ripped out, filled in & sent to LRA. This will ensure that any future recalls that may arise will be addressed to the new owner...YOU!

All recalls that are made available to any vehicle will come from the manufacturer, not the dealer.

Again if the recall is done, then a letter may not turn up.

If you have any queries with regard to recalls, contact your delaer with the VIN handy.

Cheers.

I think that is only for D4s.

It's for D3's only, Rework Clock spring & space out/straighten Clock spring from steering wheel.

Cheers.

Thanks for that - useful to know - just assumed dealer would contact LR

Spent the day Saturday up at Mt Walker, on some super steep stuff.

And, after hearing the gurgling with the brake peddle pushed in, I thought nothing of it and it may be the Air/con,or some such.

On one hill it was a near catastrophic crash, I ended up with bad leg pump, I was pushing the brake peddle so hard the steering wheel was flexing, luckily I flicked on the hill decent in the middle of it and that just managed to pull the car up enough to turn before a 3 meter drop!

Will they still honor it on a 180000+ km vehicle?

Had a mate have this just happen, recall was done in 09 but booster not replaced. Brakes failed and we found oil in the booster.
Dealer did not want to replace booster at first( same dealer that had done recall work)
I think it took some strong words and threats before they agreed to replace the booster.

I may have a fight on my hands!
