A friend was due to take delivery of his MY15 RRS this morning and has just been told by the dealer it will be delayed (no date given) because LR have issued a recall. Not able to get much info but believed to be a DPF issue!!

Due to collect mine tomorrow , but nothing said...so far!

DPF?

My dad has had a recall notice on his MY15, apparently if the climate is going full blast there is a cable in part of the loom ( supplied by others ) that is not big enough for the load so needs to be replaced which should take about an hour 2015 HSE SDV6 Scotia Grey, ebony / lunar, colour coded, deployable steps, TV, sliding pano and a few other bits. Now gone

Diesel Particulate Filter - removes soot from emissions

My mate has heard from the dealer that LR would not allow unregistered vehicles to be registered until fixed. Told to expect a delay of up to May 5th.

Mine is being registered tomorrow morning

Often you find that it is only a number of cars in a VIN range that are affected so your new car may already have any upgrades done PB, especially if you haven't heard anything from the dealership 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

That Utopian thought had crossed my mind.... But Utopian it will be!

You could always phone the dealership first thing in the morning and ask them all about it. That may be a disappointment but may also save you an unnecessary journey. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Ahah...so that's the reason then! My Oct 13 has been shutting down on full climate speed since I bought it 19 months ago. I mentioned it on the last service but nothing got done. I have had to shut down and then restart climate to get it going again.

This affected my L405. It could also be faulty wheel nuts too which were made from the wrong grade of metal. I had that too.

The wiring one is due to one wire not carrying the correct load rating. As above, it using the max cool function, the wire could overheat and the LR bulletin details a possible vehicle fire as a consequence.

Amazed they haven't sorted this on the line yet.

My MY15 car has been in for 3 recalls in total, the aircon wiring, accelerator switch and something to do with the battery. I must say that the car feels better since the recalls; a mysterious rattle from the dashboard has gone, the accelerator response is slightly better and the car hasn't burnt to the ground
