NHTSA recall 95V099000
Power Train · Land Rover
Details
What's wrong: At port of entry, a quality overcheck of the differential pinion shaft torque was performed. This check required the removal of the driveshafts. When the driveshafts were reinstalled, the wrong sized nuts were used.
Why it matters: The nuts can loosen, ultimately causing the disconnection of one or both of the driveshafts resulting in loss of control of the vehicle.
The fix: Dealers will replace the hardware on the involved vehicles with hardware of the appropriate specifications.
