A defect which relates to motor vehicle safety may exist in some 1995 model year Range Rover 4.0 SE vehicles imported by Land Rover North America, Inc.
DESCRIPTION OF DEFECT
Land Rover has identified a potential defect in the rear axle trailing arms fitted to a number of Range Rover 4.0 SE vehicles caused by fracturing of the aluminum eye which attaches the arm to the chassis frame. Should one of these arms fail, the driver may notice an audible "knocking" noise prior to separation of the arm from the chassis. If the noise @ ignored, there is a risk that the arm will separate resulting in vehicle instability and possible loss of control.
VEHICLES INVOLVED/CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION LETTER
March 22, 1996
Dear Range Rover 4.0 SE Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Rover Group, Ltd., manufacturer of Land Rover vehicles, has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1995 Range Rover 4.0 SE vehicles. This recall campaign relates to potentially defective rear suspension trailing arms. The rear suspension trailing arms, which connect the rear axle to the chassis, may fail by cracking and fracture of the aluminum ends and separate from the chassis. If you hear any knocking noise emanating from the rear of the vehicle, pull over at once. If this noise is ignored and the vehicle continues to be driven, there is risk that the arm will separate resulting in vehicle instability and possible loss of control, which could cause a crash. Do not drive your Ran-ge Rover if you know, or suspect, that one of the trailin-q arms has failed or is about to fail.
If you should hear a "knocking" noise in the rear suspension, stop the vehicle immediately and call Land Rover Road Recovery at 1-800-444-3700 and one of our representatives will make the necessary arrangements to have your vehicle transported to the nearest Land Rover Dealer.
Even though, to date, we know of no rear suspension trailing arm failures in the United States or Canada, in order to ensure that your Range Rover 4.0 SE does not contain potentially defective arms, we will be replacing the suspect parts at no charge to you. This action is being taken voluntarily and the necessary work can be performed by any authorized Land Rover Dealer.
The parts necessary to complete this action are currently available at your Dealer and the time required to perform this work is approximately 1 1/2hours.
Please contact your Land Rover Dealer to arrange for this work to be performed as soon as possible. Your dealer is prepared to make the modification as convenient as possible for you at a time that fits your busy schedule. If you experience any difficulty in making these arrangements directly with your dealer, please contact one of our Owner Care Representatives at 1-800-637-6837.
ABS High Pressure Hose
A possible defect which relates to motor vehicle safety may exist in some 1995 model year Range Rover 4.0 SE vehicles imported by Land Rover North America, Inc.
DESCRIPTION OF DEFECT
Land Rover has identified a possible defect in the ABS high pressure hose fitted to a number of Range Rover 4.0 SE vehicles. Should this brake hose fail, the driver would notice the illumination of the amber ABS, the red brake, and amber traction control warning lights, followed by a reduction in braking capability. However, since there are two separate hydraulic circuits in the braking system, if the hose was to fail, the secondary braking system would remain functional, enabling the driver to stop the vehicle with increased pedal effort

Dear Range Rover 4.0 SE Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Rover Group, Ltd., manufacturer of Land Rover vehicles, has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety may exist in some 1995 Range Rover 4.0 SE vehicles within a specific build range. The defect may or may not exist in all vehicles, however, the part will be replaced on all vehicles within the specified build range.
This recall campaign relates to a potentially defective ABS brake hose. Should this brake hose fail, you would notice the illumination of the amber ABS, the red brake, and amber traction control warning lights, followed by a reduction in braking capability. However, since there are two separate hydraulic circuits in the braking system, if the hose fails, the brakes will continue to operate but with noticeably greater pedal effort required. Should this occur, stop the vehicle and call Land Rover Road Recovery at 1-800-444-3700 and one of our representatives will make the necessary arrangements to have your vehicle transported to the nearest Land Rover Dealer.
In order to ensure that the ABS braking system in your Range Rover 4.0 SE does not contain a potentially defective hose, we will be replacing the suspect brake hose at no charge to you.
