Summary
The 1995 Land Rover Range Rover has 9 recalls, the most serious being multiple fire risks under the hood and a rear suspension defect that can cause a loss of control.
Three related recalls address the same fire hazard: coolant hoses and other underhood tubing can fail and leak engine coolant, windshield washer fluid, or automatic transmission fluid onto hot engine components, which can ignite and cause an underhood fire. A separate recall covers the transmission breather tube, which can clog with ice in cold conditions and force transmission fluid out onto hot engine parts with the same result. On the suspension side, the aluminum attachment points that connect the rear trailing arms to the chassis frame can fracture and allow the rear axle to shift, making the vehicle unstable and difficult to control. There is also a brake concern: a flexible hose connecting the hydraulic pump to the ABS valve block can leak brake fluid, reducing braking performance and disabling the rear brakes. A cruise control wire can chafe against the steering wheel rotary coupler, cause it to overheat, and trigger the driver's airbag without warning. Rounding out the list, the engine serpentine belt idler pulley can fail and shed debris onto the road, posing a risk to nearby pedestrians and other vehicles.
