RECALL ACTION

Right Side Exhaust Manifold Cracking

AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE

Range Rover (LP) YA441200 to 1A457215

SITUATION:

RIGHT SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CAN SPLIT

A possible defect which relates to motor vehicle emissions may exist in some 2000 through 2001 model year Range Rover vehicles imported by

Land Rover North America, Inc.

Land Rover has decided to recall all Range Rover vehicles, within the above VIN range. There is a possibility of the right side exhaust manifold

collector pipe splitting at the collector joint. A split can allow exhaust gas to discharge in the under-hood area.

RESOLUTION:

INSPECT MANIFOLD FOR MAGNETISM AND REPLACE IF INDICATED

Check the installed RH manifold for magnetic material according to the procedure in this bulletin. It is critical that the procedure is followed

precisely. If magnetic properties are detected, the manifold is not manufactured to the correct metallurgical specification and must be replaced.

TOOLS

PARTS INFORMATION

DDW WARRANTY CLAIMS:

21

Warranty claims should be submitted quoting program code B166 together with the relevant option code from Table 2. This will result in payment of

the stated time and, where applicable, parts/miscellaneous expense codes. As option codes are used, there is no requirement for you to enter parts or

labor, these are repeated here for information only.

Drive in/drive out can only be claimed if the vehicle is brought back into the workshop for this action alone to be undertaken.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

INSPECT MANIFOLD AND REPLACE IF INDICATED

1. Before performing any B166 Recall activity obtain the correct tool to inspect the manifold for magnetism.

2. Raise the vehicle.

NOTE:

Due to the proximity of ferrite (magnetic) components such as the collector flange and heat shield, care must be taken to accurately define

the source of the magnetism.

22

3. Using a shielded magnetic implement, such as a retrieval tool, determine if the right side manifold collector pipe exhibits magnetic properties.

(Figures 1 and 2)

4. If the pipe is non-magnetic at the inspection location, lower the vehicle and claim Option "A" or Option "K"

5. If the manifold exhibits strong magnetic properties, perform the following manifold replacement steps:

^ Inspect the replacement component prior to installation to ensure that the replacement part LKC102470K does not exhibit strong magnetic

properties.

NOTE:

GTR lookup sequence is as follows: GTR Home > NAS > Service Information/LP Range Rover/2001 > Workshop Manuals > Range

Rover > Bookmark "30 - Manifold and Exhaust System' > bookmark "EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKETS - V8 - 99MY"

^ Refer to GTR section 30.15.16 and install a new right hand exhaust manifold.

^ Lower the vehicle.

^ Claim Option "B" or Option "C".

INSTALL CAMPAIGN LABEL

NOTE:

Campaign labels are required for emissions - related Recalls in the United States.

23

1. When all specified repairs have been accomplished, prepare the campaign label (LRN0002LABEL) as follows:

a) Place the label on a hard surface.

b) Use a ballpoint pen to neatly write/scribe in the bare aluminum areas of the label the following information:

^ Service Campaign code "B166"

^ Your retailer code The date of repair

2. Clean all grease and dirt from the radiator support member.

3. Peel the completed campaign label from the backing paper and position it on the cleaned area.

4. Roll the label with the special roller tool to ensure proper adhesion.
