Summary
On certain vehicles fitted with 9J-19 inch diameter wheels, during certain vehicle maneuvers when the steering system is on full left lock and the suspension is moving towards full compression, the left front brake hose and/or the ABS wheel speed sensor lead and/or the brake pad wear warning sensor lead can catch on the wheel balance weight as the wheel rotates.
Actions
Dealers will inspect the left front brake flexi-pipe assembly and replace it if it exhibits signs of chafing, and also to replace the left front 'clip-on' wheel balance weights with 'stick-on' wheel balance weights. The recall began on June 30, 2006. Owners may contact Land Rover at 1-201-818-8500.
