FUEL TANK, DRIVESHAFT TO DIFFERENTIAL CONNECTION
Fuel Tank
A defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in 1987 through 1990 and some 1991 model year Range Rover vehicles imported by Land Rover North America, Inc.
DESCRIPTION OF DEFECT
Land Rover has identified a defect in the fuel tank fitted to a number of 1987 through 1991 Range Rover vehicles. The Defect could lead to corrosion at the bottom of the fuel tank in the area above the stone guard. If the corrosion were to perforate the fuel tank wall, fuel would seep into the space between the tank and stone guard producing fuel odors. If the odor were unnoticed or ignored, fuel leakage could eventually result and present a fire hazard in the presence of an ignition source. Reported failures are primarily from areas where road salt is used during the winter. However, all affected vehicles will have the fuel tank inspected/ replaced.
