LAND ROVER DEFENDER ( 24/10/2014 – 05/01/2015) DEFECT: P053 campaigned vehicles – Brake Disc to Hub Bolts where the front brake pipe from caliper to the brake flexible hose is subsequently showing signs of a chafe condition in some instances it has been reported that a noise is present or the loss of brake fluid has occurred. If the brake pipe continues to chafe through sudden loss of brake fluid could be experienced. Brake fluid loss will illuminate a red warning triangle. Brake fluid loss will ultimately result in extended brake pedal travel combined with reduced braking performance in the corresponding brake circuit increasing stopping distances. Loss of one braking circuit could compromise vehicle stability and significantly increase the risk of an accident.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected. Where recall campaign P053 is yet to be completed provide the P053 remedy and ensure that the specified clearances are achieved following completion of the P053 recall remedy. In the case of vehicles that have already had recall campaign P053 completed the dealer will ensure the correct clearances are achieved. If there are any signs of damage to the left hand right hand or both sides of the front brake pipe the damaged pipe will be replaced.
