NHTSA recall 00V142000
Electronic Stability Control · Land Rover
Details
What's wrong: The loading conditions on the vehicle's left side engine idler pulley can exceed the maximum calculated figure of the original design specification. The material of the pulley can fracture and ultimately fail. Failure of the pulley material can cause the pulley to throw off the serpentine belt.
Why it matters: This could result in a loss of engine auxiliary functions (power steering, water pump, alternator, air conditioning and ace).
The fix: Dealers will install an improved idler pulley.
