LAND ROVER announced a problem with the Defender affecting a total of 21,132 vehicles.
It is possible that the transfer box output shaft may not be to specification. This can allow oil to leak between the output shaft and the drive flange. This can result in oil entering the parking brake drum and contaminating the brake linings, which can affect the parking brake efficiency. Vehicles built from 5/10/2007 to 4/11/2010 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Recall all affected vehicles for the cleaning and resealing of the drive flange to output shaft, plus the replacement of any contaminated brake linings.
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest LAND ROVER dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
