NHTSA recall 99V007000
Engine And Engine Cooling · Land Rover
Details
What's wrong: As a result of water ingress and subsequent ice blockage, the transmission breather tube can become clogged, expelling transmission fluid from the dipstick tube onto hot engine components.
Why it matters: This leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in an underhood fire.
The fix: Dealers will remove the transmission breather tube from the inner fender and a section of the hose will be cut at an angle. This action will remove the end of the breather tube from any pooled water and will eliminate water droplets from clinging to the end of the tube.
