NHTSA recall 04V203000
Fuel System, Gasoline · Land Rover
Details
What's wrong: On certain sport utility vehicles, a stress crack can develop in the plastic fuel tanks.
Why it matters: Cracks which continue to propagate can ultimately result in signs of liquid fuel from the underside of the vehicle when filling the tank, particularly if overfilling is attempted. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will replace the fuel tank. Owner notification began March 15, 2005. Owners should contact Land Rover at 1-800-637-6837.
