Is this a case of call into your local Land Rover 'benduovership' to find out? Jeff   Andy Maier (Newman) Senior Member Username: Newman Post Number: 630 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 17, 2004 - 10:42 am:    Yeah, Jeff -- call the dealership. Serves you all right for buying D2's, anyway...

But no mention about what Vin number ranges or anything.

Can this be a hoax? Richard   Andrew Homan (Andy) Member Username: Andy Post Number: 49 Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Saturday, March 20, 2004 - 12:33 am:    I can't think of a manufacturer that hasn't had a recall. Even the great mercedes Benz has had numerous ones. I wouldn't get to worried. if it's true have it done and go on with life. Even Honda had to recall it's goldwing motorcycle because a few cracked their frames. it happens.

I'm glad I don't own a DII! ;-) http://www.web-rover.co.uk/ SandMan   Walter Dent (Walter) Member Username: Walter Post Number: 58 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Saturday, March 20, 2004 - 06:31 am:    Not my vin range. Glad I have a DII!;-)   Matt Anderson (Disco01) Senior Member Username: Disco01 Post Number: 366 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Saturday, March 20, 2004 - 09:14 am:    Seriously, this could possibly not affect US Discos. In 1999 LR recalled a bunch of peeling dash D1s and replaced the dash. Obviously, we did not get this recall and thus I had a repair kit installed on my D1. Lucky Brits.
