SHOULDER BRACKET MANUFACTURING DEFECT, ALL YEARS, PROBABLY LR4 AS WELL AS EOROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL MODELS DISCOVERY 3 AND 4, RANGE ROVER SPORT CASTING SPLITS AND CRACKS AT MULTIPLE POINTS AROUND BOLT HOLE OVER TIME. 4 OF 4 UNITS I INSPECTED WITH SIMILARR FAILURE. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT, FRAYED SEATBELT, ORDERED USED REPLACEMENT, THEY WERE AS BAD AS THE ONE ON THE VEHICLE, ALL WERE CRACKED. NO ACCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE. FACTORY ORIGINAL AND ONE ADDITIONAL UNIT AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION.
DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEATBELT SHOULDER ANCHORS HAVE NUMEROUS CRACKS IN THEM. I DISCOVERED THIS WHILE REMOVING INTERNAL BODY PANELS TO DIAGNOSE RAIN WATER LEAKS/INGRESS.
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.
PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AROUND AIRBAG. VEHICLE IS NOT KEPT IN THE SUN. THE REST OF THE VEHICLE SHOWS NO WEAR OR CRACKS ONLY THE AIRBAG AREA.
THE DASH COVERING HAS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD EFFECT THE DEPLOYMENT OF SAID AIR BAG
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. *TR
THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON... *TR
