Land rover IS recalling 37,142 my 2005-2006 LR3 and range rover sport vehicles. relative motion between the steering wheel hub and/or the steering column cowl with the clockspring, which includes the driver side air bag circuitry, could result in fracturing of the air bag wiring connection. if an air bag wire fractures, the srs warning light will…
Risk and remedy
Risk
If the srs warning light IS ignored and a vehicle crash of sufficient severity to command deployment of the driver's air bag occurs, the air bag module may not deploy in the intended manner. The condition may result in the deployment of only one stage of the dual stage driver's air bag or the air bag may not deploy at all increasing the risk of serious injuries to the driver.
Remedy
Dealers will insert 1MM spacers between the lower left hand side of the column switch mounting point and the column lock to improve the alignment of the column switch. two foam pads will also be fitted to the top of the steering column switch gear to provide assured clearance between the cowl and the clockspring face. the recall began on july 30, 2008. owners may contact land rover at 1-800-637-6837.

The driver air bag has been replaced twice on my vehicle. The airbag light is back on. The steering column spring is bad also. I have paid to repair the airbag twice. This airbag should be recalled. I think it is unsafe for me to drive it and the airbag will not deploy if needed in a car accident. Please help me by recalling the airbag so Land Rover can replace the airbag. I bought the vehicle used but I should not have to sacrifice my safety. It seems the aftermarket does not have the airbag available any longer.

I can be driving and the car will just cut off. The real danger was when I was on the freeway and I almost couldn't pull over to the side and a semi truck was behind me. That happened about 3 years ago. Also when I start the car and put it in reverse the parking brake warning light come on, that also started happening a couple years ago. The above happened again yesterday and the day before, October 9, 2021.

Air suspension system IS malfunctioning. Vehicle bounces erratically at all road surfaces. Erratic bouncing at highway speeds may cause driver to overseer and leading to a catastrophic (accident) event. The front end of the vehicle collapses while parked causing excessive strain on ball joints and front control arms (to date ..nearly $2000 in repairs). Dealership has done all it can to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer IS land rover. Land rover corporate has refused to assist owner or dealership in providing a technical solution to the problem. Only advice IS of us to wait for a computer error code to display on the dash so the dealer can determine which part to replace. Safety issue.. This IS unacceptable. (Air shock, sensor, air shocks compressor, values). This problem has persisted for over a year and we have not gotten an error message. We request land rover replace computer module and sensors to air shocks, or replace air shocks. *tr

@ 65mph, I heard a muffled 'pop' coming from beneath and in front, and my 2006 range rover sport supercharged immediately lurched. a gear whine proceeded, which would react in pitch to my rate of speed. feathering the throttle impacted the noise, and I suspected my front differential, or a front wheel bearing. as it was extremely cold outside, and extremely late, I babied the sport the remaining 10 miles home, where I raised the truck and confirmed a great deal of heavy viscosity fluid had coated the bottom of my vehicle, emanating from the front differential, on the left (us driver's) side. it caused quite a bit of smoke, having painted itself on to the exhaust system. after some research, I discovered that land rover has issued a special service bulletin on front differential failure, saying that on early models, the inside of the differentials were coated with a paint that delaminates, mixing with the gear fluid and contaminating it, causing overheating and bearing/seal failure. I am out of warranty (the truck IS now @ 50K miles), and have filed a complaint with land rover to petition to get this covered under warranty. this, apparently, IS a common problem - enough so that they issued a service bulletin admitting a fault. *tr

There are oil leaks coming from both front and rear differentials. It has been reported by other owners that both differentials eventually fail and the vehicle becomes inoperable. There has been incidents where the wheels have gotten locked. This has caused vehicles to come to a full stop resulting in hazardous situations where the owners of the vehicles have suffered life threatening incidents. manufacturer knowingly refuses to replace a part that IS prone to failing due to an error on their side. A service bulletin (special service message 34304) has been issued to the service centers about the problem. this bulletin lists the cause to be "the casing black paint /sealer degrades, detaches and contaminates the oil. This results in the oil overheating which results in oil seal leaks and bearing noise." and also notes that "differentials from the vins quoted below are manufactured with a new casing paint which overcomes the above mentioned issues." below IS an full excerpt of the above mentioned ssm #34304: special service message, # ssm34304 models lm - new range rover la - discovery 3 LS - range rover sport title front & rear differential noise & oil leaks last modified 03-mar-2009 12:23 category: driveline symptom: 509000 axle concerns content: front & rear differential noise, minor oil seal leak & debris in oil. concern: noise (whine or humming) from the front or rear differential.

While driving my vehicle at approximately 40 mph, I began to hear a loud squeal from beneath my vehicle, but no service lights were illuminated on the dash. because something was clearly wrong, I pulled to the side of the road and had the vehicle towed. it was later determined that my front differential had failed after only 30,000 miles. land rover IS aware of the problem, however no recall was ever issued only a "special service message" to dealers. I subsequently learned that I was fortunate as some users have had the differential lock up bringing the vehicle to a skidding halt. this IS clearly a safety issue and land rover should address the problem with a recall. *tr

Driving on the freeway and my car came to a complete stop. The rear suspension dropped to the ground with no warning or no apparent reason. Then I felt my left tire go flat. Once chp and the tow truck got me off the freeway. I noticed that the entire rear suspension was on the ground. The suspension failure caused both of my rear tires to buckle inward causing the left one to blow and the right on gauged out on the inside. Land rover dealership diagnostic report showed suspension failure and they just pushed a button to raise it back up. they fixed absolutely nothing and expected me to pay for two new tires and wanted to send me back on the road. The manufacturer was no help either. I still pay this car note and to date have never driven this death trap again. Im a afraid it will happen again without any cause or warning. *Tr

On DEC1, 2007 I was driving my 2006 range rover sport supercharged on a major highway in toronto canada. All of a sudden their was a major squealing noise, then the front tires locked up. It was a major failure and could have been a huge accident. I managed to get the vehicle over to the side of the road. I was in a dangerous place. The police stopped, got a tow truck right away. The car was towed to thornhill land rover in toronto. Turns out it was a major differential failure. The splines all sheered off on the input drive tube. Land rover was great, they fixed the vehicle quickly. I am writing this because I feel my kids and I were very lucky not to be in a huge accident. I have learned that my issue IS not uncommon. Something needs to be done before someone gets hurt. Thank you*cn
