   On certain vehicles, the wiring that connects the steering column rotary coupler (clockspring) to the driver's airbag module may fracture as a result of relative motion between the clockspring and the steering wheel hub. This may result in the deployment of only one stage of the dual stage airbag during a vehicle crash of sufficient severity, or cause the airbag to not deploy at all. Should the airbag module fail to deploy in the intended manner, it could increase the driver's risk of injury or death. Correction: Dealers will insert alignment spacers into specific areas of the steering column.

   On certain vehicles equipped with 19 inch wheels, when the steering is on full left lock and the suspension is moving towards full compression, the left front brake hose, ABS wheel speed sensor lead, and, brake pad wear warning sensor lead, can catch on the wheel balance weight as the wheel rotates. This may lead to warnings of premature brake pad wear, warnings of ABS failure, or extended brake pedal travel and loss of one of the hydraulic service braking system circuits, which could result in extended stopping distances and a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will inspect the left front brake pipe assembly and replace if required. All clip-on wheel weights will be replaced with stick-on weights. Additionally, an owners handbook supplement will be produced stating the requirement to use stick-on wheel weights should future wheel balancing be required.

   Certain vehicles do not comply with the requirements of CMVSS 114. When the ignition is switched off, after a period of time, it is possible to remove the ignition key when the transmission shift lever is not in Park. This could permit an unexpected vehicle roll away which could result in personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Driveline Control Unit.

   Certain vehicles may have an incorrectly manufactured guide plate which could hinder the function of the transmission parking pawl. Consequently, PARK may not engage when the lever in the vehicle is moved to PARK and all indicators show PARK position is achieved. If the vehicle was parked on an incline of sufficient grade, and the parking brake was not engaged, the vehicle could roll away. Correction: Dealers will replace the parking pawl guide plate.

5. Seats and restraints31 Oct 2005

   Certain vehicles may have been manufactured with a seat belt mounting buckle whose tensile strength is below the required standard. In the event of a crash, where the left hand second row seat belt is being used, the buckle may not be fully retained. Correction: Land Rover has corrected all affected vehicles prior to distribution to dealers.
