NOTE: This Service Action supersedes Service Actions B024, B025 and B027. Refer to Service Alert SA06WA04 regarding the closing procedure where claim submission parameters were specified for these three Service Actions. This Service Action is valid for two years only. Repairs must be complete and Warranty Claims accepted for payment prior to the expiry date of this Service Action on 05 June 2008.
Situation: Land Rover is conducting a vehicle enhancement program on LR3, Range Rover Sport *and Range Rover vehicles*. At elevated temperatures the spring return force on the air suspension compressor exhaust valve is insufficient to overcome the friction forces, which can lead to the exhaust valve not closing properly. This results in a leak path in the air suspension system and result in an 'Air Suspension fault' message. LR3 and Range Rover Sport vehicles will also have an air suspension warning lamp illuminated. Other vehicle and software enhancements will be performed as part of this combined Service Action.
Action: The Service action covers the following areas:
* Upgrade the air suspension compressor:
* Performing a number of software and body fitting enhancements to the affected vehicles.
The updates are detailed in the table below along with the relevant vehicle information.
NOTE:
In order to monitor the vehicles repaired it will be necessary to follow two unique campaign procedures and to make two separate warranty claims for the required repairs:
* B034 is to be used to claim for the air suspension compressor upgrade.
* B036 is to be used for all of the other enhancement actions required.
Refer to the specific procedure section below for relevant warranty details for each campaign element. Warranty claims should be submitted in accordance with the current Land Rover Warranty Policy and Procedures Manual and its amendments, unless stated otherwise in this Service Action.
