Land Rover Range Rover Sport Recall 15V042: Brake vacuum hose can wear through, losing braking assist

NHTSA campaign 15V042, reported January 28, 2015, 29,311 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

A brake vacuum hose may have been routed incorrectly, allowing it to rub and wear a hole through the hose. When that happens, the power brake assist can be completely lost, so the vehicle takes longer to stop and the risk of a crash goes up.

The repair is free. Authorized dealers will inspect the brake vacuum hose and reroute it correctly where needed, and replace any hose that is already damaged. Owners can also contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837, referencing recall P052.

To check whether your vehicle has any open recalls, enter your VIN on the NHTSA recall lookup site or ask a dealer to check it.
