What can go wrong

The front pump bearing on some aftermarket replacement High Pressure Fuel Pumps may fail due to lack of sufficient lubrication. This will cause failure of the shaft seal which will cause a fuel leak and if not rectified could cause a vehicle fire.

The fix

Recall affected vehicles and replace fuel pump with the latest specification pump.

Land Rover Range Rover	1 September 2006 to 30 June 2009	255

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
