Discovery

  • miles
As a result of chaffing of a cruise control wire, the steering wheel rotary coupler can overheat and inadvertently deploy the driver's air bag....this has not happened yet to me, but despite my vehicle being a 1996 Land Rover Discovery with only one previous owner, dealer claims my VIN# is not included in recall for substantiated by previous complaints submitted for this issue with my year/make/model, so please re-open investigation of NHTSA campaign # 98V040000 to include all 1996 Land Rover Discovery VIN#S so it can be addressed before it deploys improperly. Deployment of the air bag restraint system without warning can cause a driver to lose vehicle control.
