2000 Land Rover Discovery II recall: stability control
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with active cornering enhancement (ace). The loading conditions on the vehicle's left side engine idler pulley CAN exceed the maximum calculated figure of the original design specification. The material of the pulley CAN fracture and ultimately fail. Failure of the pulley material CAN cause the pulley to throw off the serpentine belt.
💥 The risk
This could result in a loss of engine auxiliary functions (power steering, water pump, alternator, air conditioning and ace).
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install an improved idler pulley.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
