Recalled Vehicles:
1999 Land Rover Range Rover
Component: Vehicle Speed Control
Manufactured by: Land Rover North America, Inc.
Affected Units:: 2,957
Recall Summary:
Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. The cast alloy throttle body is heated by fluid bled from the cooling system, to prevent icing in extremely cold weather conditions. This fluid passes through a small attachment (plate) to the throttle body, which utilizes a cork gasket. The cork gasket has proven to be unreliable in this application. Consequently, coolant fluid can leak from the interface between the DE-icer plate and the throttle body.
How to Fix:
Dealers will replace the throttle body gasket, DE-icer attachment, and securing hardware.
