NHTSA recall 02V028000
Vehicle Speed Control · Land Rover
Details
What's wrong: On some sport utility vehicles, the accelerator cable could have become kinked during vehicle assembly, resulting in chaffing of the cable. Continued chaffing can lead to breakage of the interior cable strands.
Why it matters: Breakage of the cable strands can result in the throttle being stuck in the open position, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the damaged cables where necessary. Owner notification began March 6, 2002.
