Recall information provided by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

Component not known

00V036
On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with Active Cornering Enhancement (ACE), the high-pressure hydraulic pipe that runs from the ACE pump to the ACE valve block could fracture at the connection to the pump. This will result in a loss of hydraulic fluid. A low fluid level can subsequently result in system pump failure which will throw off the auxiliary drive belt, resulting in a loss of engine auxiliary functions (power steering assist, water pump, alternator, and air conditioning). In extreme circumstances, there is a possibility that the hydraulic fluid could ignite, resulting in an engine compartment fire.
Dealers will install new hydraulic tubing. Owner notification began in late-February 2000. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Land Rover at 1-800-637-6837.

On certain sport utility vehicles, contamination of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) sensor can cause the ABS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to incorrectly interpret the sensor signal, resulting in inappropriate ABS activation. This can lead to an increase in braking distance that is unanticipated by the driver.
Dealers will install a new ECU. The manufacturer reported that owner notification was expected to begin during February or March 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Land Rover at 1-301-731-9040.

Component not known

02V028
On certain sport utility vehicles, the accelerator cable could have become kinked during vehicle assembly, resulting in chaffing of the cable. Continued chaffing can lead to breakage of the interior cable strands. Breakage of the cable strands can result in the throttle being stuck in the open position, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect and replace the damaged cables where necessary. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification was expected to begin during mid-February 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Land Rover at 1-301-731-9040.
