general problems of the 2008 Land Rover Range Rover

The contact owns a 2008 Land Rover l322 (na). The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign numbers: 15v039000 (service brakes, hydraulic) and 16v374000 (air bags). The parts needed for the repair were not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect and VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The front right break line split and all the break fluid drained out causing the breaks to fail. The car was towed to a Land Rover dealer. In speaking with the dealer, there is no service directive by lr to replace the breaklines at some point. I spoke to lr today and they told me that after warranty its the owners problem to monitor the car. The dealer also noted that another lr model, the sport, there is a maintenance directive to replace the break hoses at 75,000 miles. Obviously, this is a very serious issue. Someone could have been injured or killed. This car has been under dealer care since it was purchased. Break lines should not fail these days.
