NHTSA recall 04V347000
Structure · Land Rover
Details
What's wrong: Certain sport utility vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 201, "occupant protection in interior impact." During testing, the free motion head form registered a measurement marginally above the permitted 1000 head impact criteria. At the left and right hand a-pillar trim area.
Why it matters: In the event of a vehicle crash, personal injury to occupants may occur.
The fix: Dealers will replace the a-pillar trim with a revised component that enables the vehicle to fully meet the requirements of fmvss 201. The recall began on December 6, 2005. Owners should contact Land Rover at 1-800-637-6837.
