I got the answer that the recall was recalled

Interesting point was, the recall action was still completed during the last maintenance.  MY2013, 2.2 TD4 SE fuji white
man. gearbox, xenon, "small" Meridian, 7" satnav, autom. aircon, RV-cam, heated jets/windscreen/seats/wheel

@ DaveBee

Sometimes I write as it's in my head and it comes out a tad confusing, I know what I meant to say but others don't

My previous post is showing part of an Email attachment from a dealer that I requested, and it shows the actions taken. By the dealer filling in those actions online it updates Topix to comment 'no outstanding field service actions', so you 'should' know you are up to date with recalls/software.

Land Rover have been extremely shoddy about this - we brought two new MY13 Freelanders back in March and if it was not until I read about the recall on this Forum I found both vehicles were at risk (albeit low). Surely either Land Rover or the dealer should have contacted my wife and I. Mike@LandRover if you're reading this would you like to comment?

Indeed. The Code of Practice for safety recalls says,

"The supplier will take all reasonable action to contact affected owners/registered keepers and recall their vehicles/components/parts for inspection and, if necessary, rectify components or assemblies the supplier believes are safety defective.

In consultation with VOSA the supplier will send communication, in layman's terms, to the owner/registered keeper, directly or through the franchised dealer network or through other methods explaining the nature of the defect and its safety significance. VOSA must be given the opportunity to comment on the content of and method of communication prior to instigating a campaign."

Coincidentally, my wife's Mini Countryman also has a 'risk of fire' recall on the go, but she received a phone call to alert her to it a couple of weeks back. Not a peep from Land Rover though, or my dealer, after nearly 2 months.

is there any sure fire,

Given recall relates to a potential fuel leak/fire hazard..... What a brilliant pun, although not sure if intended.  (Coming) 2016 RR Evoque td4 180 HSE Dynamc
(Going) 2013 TD4 GS Auto - Santorini Black with black leather. Cold Climate, UK Lighting & Armrest Packs. Privacy Glass. LR Rubber Mats. Full size spare.
60 000 miles averaging 35mpg

(Gone) 2010 TD4 Manual GS - Stornoway Grey. Sold at 3yrs old & 64k miles. Final average consumption 39.2mpg.

A few days ago I received notification of Landrover recall ~P033, fuel leak from injector fuel return line. My Freely goes in tomorrow to have this checked out. I do not seem to have such leak...no smell or drips under the car. Do any of you suffer from this? Recall applies to Freelanders 2, 2012 to 2014 and Evoques.
Also having the brake master cylinder and vacuum pump replaced under warranty due to that ''sinking pedal'' syndrome!

Thanks EY, have merged the post into the existing thread Taz

Very interesting........
I just called my dealer. He knew of the recall.
When i asked why had I not been contacted he said recalls come from the factory and not the dealership. Fair point.
So........why has the factory not contacted me already! Fuming
Booked in now and PM sent to Mike @ customer relations....

MY12 HSE 2.2 SD4, Sumatra Black - gone after 10 months/43,000 fault-free miles

Mike @ customer relations said letters are on their way to all affected owners but given the power of the internet and this forum some of us are more aware than others and hence are calling dealers.
It would have got done either way so not too fussed.......

Just collected the Freely after its visit to the dealer for P033 recall. No problem with mine. I asked the service manager if he has seen any come through that have already been leaking or failed the pressure test and the answer was no after approx 20 vehicles tested, so it must indeed be a rare occurrence.

Just over 1 hour's wait and I got a bag of sweeties and a bottle of water for the trip home (12 miles) and a free Moleskine notebook for my trouble.

As above, echo jubdad's post. I also got a couple of Leather LR Key-rings in my goody bag, and a Defender brochure for my lad to pore over. Great service from Guy Salmon Coventry...very impressed with the friendliness and efficiency (and I NEVER thought I would say that about a Sytner group company!) Foraging near Gaydon....

Ditto as above, plus valet inside & out (left unwashed just in case!)

Got mine in the post today but as they knew about this potential fault in summer, why didn't my dealer sort mine out before I picked it up as brand new at the end of August. Seems daft to me to let a customer take the car away knowing that it would have to brought back within months.

There better be a good valet and goodies for a gallon of diesel and three hours out off my life

Three hours out of my life, lost forever and for what? No replacement part needed, update of the software for the start system and a poxy notebook. Chesterfield Gordon Lamb could not be bothered to even wash it never mind a valet as other owners have managed.
Does not do much to create repeat custom.
