Land Rover Freelander: Diagnostic Connector Concern.
Recall Summary Land Rover is recalling 22,624 Freelander vehicles because pin 5 of the diagnostic connector lacks a ground wire, which is required by law in the UK and EU. When certain scan tools are connected to diagnose vehicle problems, they cannot properly detect a ground signal at this location. Land Rover will add a pin and connect it to the vehicle's existing ground point to fix the issue.

- Reason
- When some scan tools are connected to the diagnostic connector on the vehicle they expect to see a vehicle ground on pin 5 of the diagnostic connector. Pin 5 of the diagnostic connector has no wire in place to supply a ground point. It is a legal requirement in NAS and for EOBD certified vehicles in the EU to have a vehicle ground in pin 5. Remedy: Recall affected vehicles and fit a pin to position 5 on the diagnostic connector and splice to the existing earth point.
