Problem: Vehicle description: certain sport utility vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of FMVSS no. 114, "theft protection." water contamination of the automatic transmission oil can lead to various failure modes of the transmission. One of these failure models results in incorrect operation of the park lock function that could allow a vehicle to roll away if parked without the handbrake properly set.

Reported Oct 16, 2000 · 36,911 vehicles affected · LAND ROVER NORTH AMERICA, INC.

Problem: Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. The loading conditions on the vehicle's left side engine idler pulley can exceed the maximum calculated figure of the original design specification. The material of the pulley can fracture and ultimately fail. Failure of the pulley material can cause the pulley to throw off the serpentine belt.

Fix: Dealers will install an improved idler pulley.
