Range Rover (LM)

VIN: AA321 929 - AA327050

CONDITION SUMMARY:

Situation:

A limited number of 2010 model year Range Rover vehicles within the VIN range above may have been manufactured away from process and in

some cases the front drive halfshaft outboard constant velocity (CV) boot could split at the small diameter convolute. Should this occur, grease could

leak from the joint, leading to a potential noise I vibration concern. In an extreme case of grease loss where the vehicle driver ignores the warning

signs (noise I vibration), the halfshaft CV joint may fail.

Action:

Retailers are required to HOLD all affected vehicles in the above VIN range that are in their control and refrain from releasing the vehicles for new

or used vehicle sale pending completion of the rework action detailed in this Technical Bulletin. Affected vehicles already in the hands of customers

should be updated at the next available opportunity. At the time of customer appointment, ensure that all outstanding service campaigns for each

individual vehicle are identified and allocate sufficient time and resources to complete all campaigns.

PARTS:

LR032577 CV joint Qty: 2 (maximum)

LR036114 Boot kit Qty: 1
