Land Rover Freelander 2000–2001

Hazard

On 3-door vehicles, the driver and front passenger seats have improperly machined mounting holes in the backrest recline lever cover. The lever can interfere with the cover and fail to return to the specified position, preventing the backrest from being secured. This may cause the backrest to tip forward during hard braking or similar conditions.

Remedy

All vehicles will be inspected for cover interference with the lever. Where interference is found, the seat frame will be replaced with a corrected part. Covers that are severely deformed will be replaced with new parts.
