2004 Land Rover Range Rover recalls

Recall 08V-635: Power Train

Reported Dec 3, 2008 · 19,168 vehicles affected · LAND ROVER

Problem: Land rover is recalling 19,168 my 2003-2005 range rover vehicles. The front differential coupling sleeve and the propeller shaft may be misaligned, resulting in spline wear over a period of time. As the wear between the propeller shaft and the differential spline coupling progresses, noise and vibration are expected.

Risk: Continued vehicle operation can eventually result in the splines shearing and a loss of drive, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will install a revised design of the propeller shaft, the flange kit and heat shield kit. The recall began on january 6, 2009. Owners may contact land rover at 1-800- 637-6837.
