Wow lucky find.

Report it here---- https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-recalls-and-fau...ety-defect

Document repair and hold on to old unit and also consider the other side is likely to fail as well

Maybe worth paying for a 3rd party inspector? example?

Is it worth those on here who have been affected by these failures, clubbing together and having a selection of the failed units examined by a qualified metallurgist for an educated assessment of the failures? First time FFRR owner

I’m going to show mine to a guy I know who is a metallurgist for BAE systems (and landrover enthusiast)

I was in a hurry (driving to Cornwall on Sunday) so I found a good used part and installed it today.

The only hitch was the replacement was missing the steel taper the track rod end would locate in so I had to recover that from the failed knuckle and bond it into the new one. I have no idea how they breakers managed to get it out, must have trashed the ball joint with a hammer instead of using a splitter.

Just checked Topix for mine and it’s showing that “ There are currently no outstanding Field Service Actions for this vehicle”.

Would be good to try and get a handle on the range of this recall - interesting that Stan’s MY16 is affected and mine apparently not. 2016 SDV8 AB
