Recall no.
99V007

This recall involves certain sport utility vehicles. As a result of water entry, subsequent freezing, and ice blockage, the transmission breather tube can become clogged and expel transmission fluid from the dipstick onto hot engine components. In the presence of an ignition source, this leakage can result in an underhood fire.

Recall consequence
Recall action
Dealers will remove the transmission breather tube from the inner fender and a section of the hose will be cut at an angle. This action will remove the end of the breather tube from any pooled water and will prevent water droplets from clinging to the end of the tube. Owner notification began Jan. 11, 1999. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Land Rover at 1-800-637-6837.
