Land Rover Range Rover Sport: The Parking Function Of The Automatic Transmission May Not Operate Correctly

Recall Summary Land Rover is recalling 2,751 Range Rover Sport, Range Rover, and Discovery vehicles sold in the United Kingdom because a faulty component in the automatic transmission's parking brake system may prevent the parking function from fully engaging, even though the dashboard shows park is selected. If the parking brake is not applied separately, the vehicle could roll away. The fix involves replacing the defective component with a properly manufactured part.
