How the hell did they manage to knacker the diff seal? Makes you wonder if the first transfer box seal was faulty or they made a cods ear of it.

Vehicle at dealers now, driven in after LR assist checked transfer box oil level and deemed OK to drive - have the written evidence for later use if needed !

New transfer box seal replaced as part of the recall was faulty and failed after 20 miles.
Seal being replaced, transfer box has been checked and is ok.

Somehow the rear diff seal was damaged whilst doing the recall, new seal arrives Wednesday.

Same here 3 days and 73kms after recall done - new seal gave up sealing - dumped oil all over the show.

Recall Notice: P022 Park Brake Oil Contamination

Date of Issue: 22nd February 2011

VIN Range: LD066843 – LD071690 (CKD) LD730411 – LD823248

A concern has been identified with the park brake fitted to 2007-2011 Defender vehicles. Any vehicle repaired under Recall Action P019 prior to the revised repair procedure identified in bulletin P019v4 must be recalled and repaired under this campaign. The shoes of the parking brake could be contaminated with oil which has leaked from the rear of the transfer box. Where oil from the transfer box has impregnated the park brake shoes, the park brake may not hold the vehicle when the park brake lever is applied and the vehicle may instantaneously roll. Transfer box oil contamination of the park brake shoes and brake drum leads to a loss of friction between the brake shoe lining and the brake drum friction surface such that the park brake drum when engaged will not hold the vehicle stationary on a gradient.

Action to be taken:
Land Rover has taken the decision to recall affected vehicles to remove the output shaft flange, clean the splines, apply Loctite 648 and where necessary and the brake shoes will also be replaced.
