My vehicle had the magic brackets fitted some years ago so it lies within the affected vehicle. It has gone for the annual road worthiness test every year and no mention of the faulty welding ever came up. Unless they see cracks in the casing or leaking oil they will not bother about it. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Supposedly, things continue like that shaft in the drive train. Land Rover finally pointing on the client making him responsible for that failure. How could Land Rover be responsibe if a few cars fail while many others don't. They said to me on the telephone. |

One car with a faulty axle case should have been enough to get things rolling at Solihull. Sadly it seems they are going to ignore this. Like I said previously despite contacting our Minister for Transpost and the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission over here I have not even had a reply from either of them. I thought that once the EU got involved things would get moving but maybe this six months period given for Land Rover to act might have to roll out before they pursue Land Rover further.
I am thinking about notifying the umbrella organisation for the insurance companies. I wonder if they got the details and discussed this increased risk with their members, if they would contact Land Rover and say if they did not get a guarantee that the axles were safe their members will be uninsuring any Defender which was constructed between year "x" and year "z". Alternatively may insurance company could up my premium or refuse me cover altogether and leave it at that. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

I doubt that insurance companies would put pressure on Landrover, they would simply increase premia to reflect the increased risk. They all exchange information so if they were seeing enough axle-failure-induced crash claims they would realise it anyway.
It would be interesting to know if any of the popular motoring or consumer affairs TV programmes would run with the story. Bad publicity in large doses is a very effective lever. |

Update 2/12/2022
I have been in contact with a number of bodies over here who deal with safety issues etc. I got a reply from one of them today who contacted Land Rover Ireland on my behalf. Land Rover Ireland have stated that my vehicle is not effected by the recall despite the fact that it was recalled to have the safety brackets fitted! I just checked the calender to make sure this is not April 1st. To be continued.... 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

Have you recently checked your VIN on TOPIx for outstanding recalls? I checked with my vin (affected) and with a 2009 vin, (not affected) and both cases it refers me to the retailer! 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing 2012 90 CSW, 2.2TDCI, Santorini Black |

everyone just a quick update !!!!!
I have seen confirmation that JLR have been issued this order for recall by the EU. I can also confirm that they need to action this asap. The source of my information is from the Government UK and they are awaiting JLR response into how they will carry this out !! all the best |

All thanks to you Considering they told me it does not effect me inspite of the fact I had a recall for the brackets I do wonder what is going on! Will be interesting to see how this unfolds in the near future. Well done Payney1000 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

That is great news
I hope that JLR is forced to recall all affected models, and not which they consider at more risk as what they have done with the catch brackets. All models of that particular era have the same case part number. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing 2012 90 CSW, 2.2TDCI, Santorini Black |

Dear All
Please see the letter revised today by the DVSA. It highlights that the main recall 2014 did not cover all effected vehicles. It also confirms Recall is in place. All the best Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

Thank you!
"... installation of a catcher bracket... It is understood that an increase in effort will be needed to steer the vehicle, but overall control and braking can be maintained." Does this mean more brackets? |
