THE PARKING FUNCTION OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MAY NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY
Due to the presence of an out of specification component within the automatic gearbox parking brake interlock system. The parking function may not fully engage when the operating lever is moved to park, despite all indicators showing that park has been achieved. If the parking brake is not applied, the vehicle may roll away.

Remedial Action
Recalled vehicles will have the out of specification component replaced with a quality assured item.

Ok great it’s in that recall window mentioned... but after so long is a recall valid? Has anyone else had this done? What do they do? Current stable:

the only way you will find out is by calling the dealer...

Well Stan... call the dealer I did and my speculation was wrong it was to do with fault front brake hoses - didn’t see that on vosa... at 100k what’s the chances these are still original? Current stable:

If it is of any assistance, the front brake flexible recall hadn't been done on mine and it was at 100K just under two years ago. They were original. The local, French, main dealer did it for me FOC after authorisation by LR. So would think you would have no problem.

One thing to expect as possible is that it may throw up that the rest of the brake pipes will be flagged by the MD as needing replacement. Mine had already been done. Just to be aware that they may try to squeeze some extra work out of you.

On the other hand they may well need replacing.  John

I had the Front Brake Hose recall done last year as well. Dealer warned me that if the Bleed Nipples snapped then i would looking at New Calipers at my cost , so i went round all 4 calipers myself before handing the Car to them and made sure all Bleed Nipples would come undone easily

Great thanks guys Current stable:
