2005–2006 Land Rover LR3 recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Some sport utility vehicles may have fuel tanks that contain an internal breather pipe that was not made to specification. This could result in excessive swelling and cracking of a grommet and subsequent detachment of the breather pipe from a connector tube. When the fuel level in the tank is above the level of the detached joint, fuel may then enter the breather pipe and excess fuel may be discharged onto the ground.
💥 The risk
Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel tanks. The recall began on march 12, 2007. Owners may contact land rover at 1-800-637-6837.
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.)
