2000 Land Rover Range Rover recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. One or both of the bolts that retain the brake caliper to the axle may have missed a final assembly torque operation. Consequently they may be loose or possibly missing.
💥 The risk
Caliper disengagement from the axle could result causing reduced vehicle stability when braking and possibly locking up of the affected wheel.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect these vehicles to verify that the proper torque has been applied.
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.)
