Air bag light is on dash. Took to dealer and they said airbag and clock spring are bad because the wiring inside the airbag and clock spring are bad and I need to pay to replace otherwise my airbag will not deploy if needed. I asked them about recall 08V248000 (Land Rover is recalling over 37,000 LR3 and range rover sport vehicles. The relative motion between the steering wheel hub and/or steering column cowl with the clockspring, which contains air bag circuitry, could cause a fracture in the driver-side air bag wiring connection.) and they said nope not covered. I believe this recall should be taken into consideration when evaluating my airbag.

LR3

  • 100,000 miles
The passenger side dash where the airbag is installed has a sudden straight line crack in the dash at the bottom of where the airbag is installed in the dash and a straight line crack on the left of the airbag in the dash. These are perfectly straight lines and not something the sun did. The vehicle is kept in a garage when not in use. The vehicle has never been left in the sun for a long period of time. These cracks were sudden - not there one day and there the next day.
