Land Rover Recall #

NHTSA Campaign #
08V635000
Summary
Land Rover is recalling 19,168 MY 2003-2005 Range rover vehicles. The front differential coupling sleeve and the propeller shaft may be misaligned, resulting in spline wear over a period of time. As the wear between the propeller shaft and the differential spline coupling progresses, noise and vibration are expected.
Actions
Dealers will install a revised design of the propeller shaft, the flange kit and heat shield kit. The recall began on January 6, 2009. Owners may contact Land Rover at 1-800- 637-6837.
