If you haven't received a recall notice, I would say no. That is a Ford recall not a Rover issue.

No $hit. I'm just wondering if the part itself happens to be the same. Plenty of parts on the LR3 are stamped "FoMoCo."

OK. Checked with my service manager at my dealership. He ran my VIN (for a 2008 LR3 HSE) and there are no open or pending recall notices for my LR3. I would venture to say that may be the case for our LR's in the listed time period. But it would be good to verify with other sources for other VIN's and date ranges.
Did a search on the NHTSA website. Here is what came up under 2005 Ford Ranger:
