On my 08 model, there is a pronounced groove that has been cut into the plastic shroud/cover in the 'B' pillar. Is there a fix or modified part for it? I'm concerned that the seat belt is going to fray badly - it looks like it might just be starting to fray slightly already. I can vauguely remember reading something about it once but I can't find it now. Was there a LR recall on this as it could be a safety concern? Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto
Present: Audi A3 S Line.

mines the same I just ignore it When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

It was subject to a recall or a modification if I remember correctly, it is a safety issue as it frays the belt, maybe when you hear it snap one day you may think, hmm should have had that sorted

LR replaced only one side (drivers side). The belt was fine.
I'd say that there was/is no modification as its started to cut through the pastic again.
But yeah, get LR to take a look and see what action they will do with it.

This is covered by warranty. I had mine done when it was about 18 months old. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

As LR already have Liam and his new Lady colleague already 'attached' to this and other forums and as it is a safety issue why not message LR direct from the forum and ask the question?
Please keep this post updated with any LR replies.

I never bothered, I found it wasnt too obvious no one else ever noticed not even the guy buying it.

Does anyone know if this was actually a recall or just a bulletin? My seat belt has fraying and the b piller is very worn, the car is a 2008 model so its well out of warranty now. Has anyone had this fixed for free out of warranty?

I'm told its not an not an mot fail which is hard to believe but there you go. What I have thought about as a temp measure until I replace the shroud is getting some like fish tank pipe and put it over the gash.... Just not worked out what size yet.
