Recently found out though NHTSA that Land Rover had a recall on my vehicle for fuel system, gasoline : storage (fuel tank) it seems a stress crack can develop in the plastic fuel tanks which may result in a fire. The remedy according to the report is fuel tank replacement. I contacted Land Rover they refused to honor the recall stating it dose not effect my vehicle when the report clearly says that it does. Please help me children ride in this vehicle. The NHTSA campaign id number is 4V203000. The vehicle is a 1997 Land Rover Discovery. Thank you james fowler

I have a safety recall action B156 from Land Rover of North America for fuel tank cracking. I contacted them at the 800 number provided and was told that I would have to take the vehicle to either a dealership in portland Oregon or reno Nevada to have the tank changed. I told them that either one of them are nearly three hundred miles from where I live and that we have a Ford dealership right here in my town. (Ford owns Land Rover ) why cant they be authorized to do the recall repair. They would not allow that or pay me for the cost of travel, food and motels. What the hell am I supposed to do ?
