Campaign - Fuel Pump Module Replacement

No: Q057 (ISSUE 3)
29 MAR 2011

*ISSUE '3' CHANGES ARE LIMITED TO EXTENDING THE EXPIRE DATE TO 31 JANUARY 2012*

SECTION: 310

Service Action:
Fuel Pump Module Operation

AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
Freelander (LN) USA vehicles only

VIN:
2A353298 - 2A399997
2A200003 - 2A222663
3A220225 - 4A299998
4A400001 - 5A490726

Model Year:
2002 - 2005

CONDITION SUMMARY:

Situation:
The in-line fuel filters fitted to fuel delivery modules in Freelander 2.5-liter KV6 gasoline vehicles may be manufactured away from specification. The fuel filters may contain an uncontrolled amount of the adhesive used to bond the filter paper to the filter casing; the adhesive may not have been adequately cured; or the fuel pump inlet stub pipe hole on the fuel filter may have inadequate dimensional controls. In any of these cases, it is possible for these conditions to prevent adequate fuel flow through either restrictions in the filter or cracking of the pump stub pipe. This leads to increased pump motor use to maintain the required engine-demanded fuel and premature wear of the fuel pump motor brushes.

In the event of restricted fuel flow, the vehicle may suffer one or more of the following symptoms: rough running and malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illumination; poor! no start; engine stumble or hesitation; or engine cut-out! stall with the possibility of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0171, P0174, or P0316 stored.
