What would you recall?

So since NHTSA has issued such the massive recall on the brake problem for Toyota, What do you think they should issue on LR's?

Break it down by model or year.
I have a DII and started thinking about all the actual design defects that could be corrected. I know most of them really aren't major safety issues, but what are things that everyone has to fix on our trucks.

Until somebody (actually, a few somebodys) dies from a D2 engine, ABS or front driveshaft failure, good luck with the recall ideas. It ain't happening!!

2000 D2, Front driveshaft, ABS, stuck throttle.
LR did recall the D2 uncontrolled acceleration issue, but the recall did not fix it.
When my D2 had a stuck throttle and had an accident (no damage to my vehicle but sucked for the rangie in the parking lot) the dealer response was too bad, its your fault. When a Toyota has an stuck throttle there is a massive recall, world press and unprecidented dealer support for owners. Free towing, loaner cars, actually fixing the problem... So I would have no problems buying a Toyota and would never buy a LR or Ford (parent company at the time) product.

none of your fucking business
I got the throttle stuck behind the carpet on my dads ford explorer once. I had to reach down with my hand to pry it loose. Good thing nobody else was on the road...finally got it loose, looked down and I was running just shy of 110mph in a 45mph zone...nice.
