Land Rover Discovery: Fuel May Leak
Land Rover is recalling 590 Discovery vehicles because the fuel tank's internal breather pipe may crack and detach, potentially allowing fuel to leak. Affected vehicles may experience warning light activation, fuel odor, rough running, hesitation, misfiring, stalling, or difficult starting, and in worst cases fuel may leak onto the ground. The fix involves replacing the fuel tank.

- Product
- Vehicles: LAND ROVER DISCOVERY. Units affected: 590
- Reason
- It has been identified that on vehicles fitted with fuel tanks which incorporate an internal breather pipe the breather pipe may not be to specification. This may result in swelling and cracking of a grommet and detachment of the breather pipe from a connector tube. In this condition fuel may enter the breather pipe resulting in MIL illumination fuel odour and drivability concerns such as hesitation misfiring stalling rough running or difficult starting. In the worst case fuel may be discharged onto the ground. Remedy: Recall affected vehicles and replace the fuel tank.
