NHTSA recall 04V005000
Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Land Rover
Details
What's wrong: Certain sport utility vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standards no. 105, "hydraulic and electric brake systems," and no. 135, "passenger car brake systems." The anti-lock braking system (ABS) modulator valve cover retaining bolts can crack due to stresses transmitted by the flexing valve covers.
Why it matters: This can produce an unexpected increase in stopping distance, with the potential for total loss of service braking function, which could result in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will strengthen the ABS modulator assembly valve covers and replace the retaining bolts. Owner notification is exepcted to begin during May 2004. Owners should contact Land Rover at 1-800-637-6837.
