Just had a phone call from the dealers to say my car (2008 TDV8 HST) has been recalled to fit new suspension ride height sensors.

Anyone else had the same recall then since its not been mentioned on here before (I think).


On the plus side I can get them to have a go on the suspension knock and tailgate struts while they have it!

Service Action Number: Q079

Quote:

A limited number of Discovery 3 and Range Rover Sport vehicles may have been manufactured
away from process and vehicles may experience corrosion of the ride height sensors due to
porosity in the plastic body of the part. An air suspension software update will also be required.

Action to be taken

You are requested to contact the owners of the affected vehicles and request that the vehicle is
made available at the earliest opportunity for the vehicle to be inspected and where necessary
the sensor based service kit will be replaced and the air suspension software updated. A sample
customer letter for you to use is attached as Appendix 1. The workshop procedure is attached as
Appendix 2.

any info on this as mine is dropping at the rear and i was going to get new sensors fitted.

Mine were done a few weeks ago but only the rear! Was told by dearler only the rear on the rrs but on D3 front and back are changed.

Been on here before and link to D3 site about a week after i had a failure - mine is due in for brake recall and height sensors at the same time

As MAW says this was highlighted here:

The suspension warning light has been on and off intermitently on my RRs for the last couple of days. There does not seem to be any change in the ride height or roll movement when cornering but am phoning the stealer this avo to get it booked in. 2010 Alaska white 3.6TDi v8, heated steering wheel, Ipod connection, Aribica extended leather, Digital TV, voice activation, privacy glass, Dynamic pack

Hi All,
Could someone confirm if this something that needs to be looked at now ? I spoke with local dealer about this and was fobbed off, with them saying it is an SSM and only needs to be looked at when the car is next in for a service or other problem ! He then said it was nothing to worry about ?
Thanks for any further info.
Steve

Simply found another dealer who was happy to do this. Now I know where to take the RRS in future !
