Good to hear people getting the benefit of the free recall.

My HSE has had the Autobiography kit fitted since new so does that mean its not the same spoiler? |

The Dress up Body Kit as L/R actually call it was available as a option on HSE's as opposed to "standard" on the A/B's, so if yours was factory produced, I guess the recall must apply to the A/B's as well although a different style spoiler, I don't know though if dealers used to fit the kit afterwards although the same L/R parts obviously, the same as the earlier pre face-lift HST model some of which were factory produced and some dealer fit.

Just checked my build spec and it says no body kit so i think im best taking it in for them to look at and soon find out if they will it. Theres a few more recalls one this model from new so i will ask them if they have been done also try and get some extra work out of them. |

Well, I took mine into the local stealers as per the 10.00 pre-booked appointment made over a week ago. Car booked in, and was told it would be about 1 1/2 hrs and they would ring me when done.

I think they have agreed this recall because its abit of glue bodge job, if it involved parts they would not have accepted recall, I wonder if Land rover is run by the Torys🤦♀️ |

Ultimately it's a safety issue: you're driving down the motorway at 70mph, passing a motorcycle and the spoiler delaminates, flies off and hits the motorcyclist in the face, he/she falls off and gets squashed by a 42 tonne truck

Exactly that - the recall is cheaper than the potential liability. I hesitate to quote Fight Club, but:
Although there's no recalls for poorly secured loads .. I saw a half sheet of plywood fly out of the back of a skip lorry on the M25 yesterday. Looked exciting for the following artic! 2014 BMW 530d Touring, 2006 BMW 650i, 2018 Mini Cooper S |

An load that is not secured properly is on the driver rather than the manufacturer. 2010 HSE TdV8 in Stornoway Grey.

It's not a "load", it's an integral component of the vehicle, if the manufacturer was aware of the potential danger, whilst the driver was not, who would you say was at fault? |

Took mine in to-day (Harwoods, Pulborough), it's an HSE with a factory/dealer fitted bodykit, they offered to do it while I waited there and then, or arrange another day.
