Vehicle Details
Reference : R/2016/289
Manufacturer Ref : Q645
Make: LAND ROVER
Model : Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque with 2 ltr diesel vehicles with automatic transmission
Launch Date : 31/01/2017
Numbers Involved : 4553
Build Start Date : 04/07/2016
Build End Date : 10/10/2016
Recall Details
Concern : ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT
Description : It has been identified that the engine wiring harness of the 2.0ltr engined vehicles fitted with automatic transmission may have been incorrectly routed which may allow the wiring harness to contact the water charge air cooler bracket. Engine vibration can cause a chaffing condition where the outer sheathing of the cable can wear through and expose the wires of the engine harness. Depending on the orientation of the wires within the harness, then damage to wires can result in electrical arcing and a short circuit. This condition can also result in the illumination of a warning light on the instrument panel, loss of the electronic steering system, engine cut out without warning, melting of the cable sheathing and surrounding parts. Also, in extreme circumstances it can cause an under-bonnet fire.
Remedial Action : All affected vehicles will be recalled to inspect the clearance between the engine harness and water charge air cooler bracket. If the clearance is not to the correct specification the wiring harness will be re positioned and secured to ensure the specified clearance is achieved. If the engine harness shows signs of chafing the engine harness will be repaired, re-positioned to ensure the correct specification.
