1999 LAND ROVER DISCOVERY SERIES IITransport Canada Recall #1999182
Defect
On certain vehicles, the contacts of the relay, which operates the ABS pump, may stick and remain closed when commanded to open by the ABS Electronic Control Unit ECU. This will cause the anti-lock braking to cease to function and in certain circumstances the vehicle may experience inadvertent braking without activation of the brake lights. Such braking, without attendant brake lights, has the potential to cause an impact from a vehicle which is following too closely.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
A new specification ABS relay will be installed on affected vehicles.
