RE: ‘A’ Frame Suspension Arm

Dear Colleagues
In plant quality inspections have determined that on a number of 2009MY Defender vehicles, the
'A' frame top link arm bushes at the chassis bracket location end of the arm can rotate due to a
potential ovality/oversize of the bore in which the bush is installed.
Customers may experience vibration and a noise likely to be a whine.

Action to be taken
At the next service opportunity you are requested to visually inspect and repair if necessary. The
workshop procedure is attached as Appendix 1.

Please ensure all unsold vehicles are repaired prior to handover to the customer.
A number of vehicles have been reworked at the factory prior to dispatch and can be
identified by a white square sticker in the corner of the windshield; no further action is
required on these vehicles.

Please check DDW to ensure that the vehicle is affected by this Service Action prior to
undertaking any rework action. DDW will be updated to reflect only those vehicles
affected. Should you require a listing of the affected vehicles, please contact the Land
Rover Field Actions team by e-mail at jlrcamp@jaguarlandrover.com. All overseas
requests should be forwarded via the National Sales Company/Regional Office only.
At the time of confirming a booking for vehicle repair, please ensure that all
outstanding Field Service Actions are identified to ensure the correct parts are
available and adequate workshop time is allocated for repairs to be completed at one visit

The Service action is in PDF. If somebody need it, please do not hesitate in contact me by PM.

Cheers! Eduardo

Pity that doesn't apply to 07 MY vehicles - because I have the issue and can't for the life of me find the source.
