LAND ROVER 2001 DISCOVERY II... I HAVE ILLUMINATION OF HILL DESCENT CONTROL, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL DASH WARNING LIGHTS... CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTIONING SENSOR OR MODULATOR...DEALERS DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS. WEB SEARCH SHOWS THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE, WITH A VERY COSTLY EXPENSE TO REPAIR AND DEALERS ARE REPLACING MODULATORS AT A $2000 PLUS COST AND THE PROBLEM DOESN'T GO AWAY! I HAVE LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL, ANTI-LOCK BRAKES STILL WORK...DON'T KNOW ABOUT HILL DESCENT CONTROL. NO CONSEQUENCES YET, NO REPAIRS YET...HOPE THERE WILL BE A RECALL...CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND IT'S NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. *JB

SITUATION: WIFE AND 3-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER WERE LOCKED IN THE CAR - UNABLE TO GET OUT. POLICE AND LOCKSMITH CALLED - BOTH, UNABLE TO UNLOCK CAR. POLICE HAD TO BREAK WINDOW SO THEY COULD GET OUT. THIS HAPPENED ON HIGH TEMPERATURE DAY IN A PUBLIC AREA. *AK WIFE PARKED CAR AT GROCERY STORE AND PROCEEDED TO GET OUT. SHE ACCIDENTALLY PRESSED DOWN ON THE DOOR LOCK, LOCKING THE DOORS. WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR IT WOULD NOT UNLOCK. SHE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART CAR AND IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT RUN. SHE PULLED UP ON THE DOOR LOCK BUT DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. SHE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART CAR AGAIN. WHEN KEY WAS ENTERED INTO IGNITION, THE ALARM SOUNDED. SHE HONKED DOWN A NEARBY POLICEMAN, WHO PROCEEDED TO CALL THREE OTHER POLICEMEN AND A LOCKSMITH. NONE OF WHICH COULD UNLOCK THE CAR. EVENTUALLY THEY BROKE THE WINDOW TO GET THEM OUT. CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING TOWED TO PLAZA LAND ROVER IN ST. LOUIS, MO. I HAVE CALLED LAND ROVER N.A. NO DETERMINATION AS OF YET. IF THIS SITUATION HAD OCCURRED IN A NON-PUBLIC LOCATION, THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE DIRE.
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC AND ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEMS," AND NO. 135, "PASSENGER CAR BRAKE SYSTEMS." THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) MODULATOR VALVE COVER RETAINING BOLTS CAN CRACK DUE TO STRESSES TRANSMITTED BY THE FLEXING VALVE COVERS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CAN PRODUCE AN UNEXPECTED INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR TOTAL LOSS OF SERVICE BRAKING FUNCTION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL STRENGTHEN THE ABS MODULATOR ASSEMBLY VALVE COVERS AND REPLACE THE RETAINING BOLTS. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXEPCTED TO BEGIN DURING MAY 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT LAND ROVER AT 1-800-637-6837.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE ACTIVE CORNERING ENHANCEMENT (ACE) PUMP BANJO BOLT LOOSES TORQUE AND ALLOWS FLUID TO LEAK PAST THE JOINT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE FLUID FROM THE PUMP JOINT CAN IGNITE, RESULTING IN AN UNDER HOOD FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES FOR LEAKAGE. IF NO LEAKAGE IS EVIDENT, THE BANJO BOLT WILL BE RE-TIGHTENED. IF LEAKAGE IS EVIDENT, THE BANJO BOLT AND DOWTY WASHERS WILL BE REPLACED. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING MAY 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT LAND ROVER AT 1-800-637-6837.
ON SOME SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE ACCELERATOR CABLE COULD HAVE BECOME KINKED DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY, RESULTING IN CHAFFING OF THE CABLE. CONTINUED CHAFFING CAN LEAD TO BREAKAGE OF THE INTERIOR CABLE STRANDS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: BREAKAGE OF THE CABLE STRANDS CAN RESULT IN THE THROTTLE BEING STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE DAMAGED CABLES WHERE NECESSARY. 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.
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.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CAN LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN BRAKING DISTANCE THAT IS UNANTICIPATED BY THE DRIVER.
Remedy: 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.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH WARN INDUSTRIES' WINCH KITS. A POWER INTERRUPT SOLENOID, POSSIBLY INCLUDED IN THE WINCH ASSEMBLY, CAN DEVELOP AN ELECTRICAL LEAK PATH TO GROUND.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CAN LEAD TO THE SOLENOID EXPERIENCING EXCESSIVE HEAT, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL CALL OWNERS TO ARRANGE FOR AN INSPECTION TIME TO DETERMINE IF A DEFECTIVE POWER INTERRUPT SOLENOID WAS INSTALLED. IF IT WAS, THE SOLENOID WILL BE REPLACED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN AUGUST 13, 2001. 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.
