2000–2001 Land Rover Discovery II recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain sport utility vehicles, contamination of an anti-lock braking system (ABS) sensor CAN cause the ABS electronic control unit (ECU) to incorrectly interpret the sensor signal, resulting in inappropriate ABS activation.
💥 The risk
This CAN lead to an increase in braking distance that is unanticipated by the driver.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install a new ECU. Owner notification began march 6, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact land rover at 1-301-731-9040.
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.)
