Steering Failure Recall ...

From VOSA:
Reference : R/2012/154
Manufacturer Ref : P031
Make: LAND ROVER
Model : Land Rover Evoque
Launch Date : 11/12/2012
Numbers Involved : 156
Build Start Date : 20/08/2012
Build End Date : 18/09/2012

Recall Details
Concern : STEERING MAY FAIL

Description : The steering rack mounting bolts may not be fully tight. Should the steering gear fixings be below the required torque, the driver would experience, during low speed manoeuvring, abnormal noise and feedback through the steering wheel and at higher speeds some easily corrected minor over steer. Should a driver ignore the warning signs, in extreme cases, both fixings could become sufficiently loose to detach from the vehicle making directional control of the vehicle difficult.
Remedial Action : Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect the steering gear and check that the steering gear mounting fixings are tightened to the correct torque.

Vehicle Id : SALVA2BG0CH704223 to SALVA2AE6DH713526

Ordered: Fuji Dynamic Lux Coupe / style 7 wheels / Privacy glass / adaptive xenons / something else which I've forgotton.
Should be end of April (was March, then April, then end of May/June).
Collected, Friday 13th Shocked April 2012

Directional control of the vehicle difficult. Is that the posh way of saying, your going to crash your car as the steering won't be working.

RE: Steering Failure Recall ...

Well mine falls within those dates and VIN#s too. I happen to be in Prague for the next few days and then driving onto Berlin before heading back to England next week. Guess I will keep my fingers crossed that nothing happens during the trip. The only thing I've noticed is a little knocking sound coming from somewhere on the left side of the vehicle when turning sharply like at a roundabout but it doesn't happen everytime so it's hard to pin point exactly where it's coming from.

Only other thing I've noticed is the fuel filler door keeps popping open on its own occasionally.

Ordered 23 May 2012, Delivered 26 October 2012
2013 5 door Fuji White, Pure w/Premium and Climate Packages

It's a VOSA recall, so they most certainly will know about it.

Ordered: Fuji Dynamic Lux Coupe / style 7 wheels / Privacy glass / adaptive xenons / something else which I've forgotton.

RE: Steering Failure Recall ...

Only the last six digits matter, I think, as they are the serial number of your car. The 6th one indicates body style 1 = 3-door and 2 = 5-door.

Evoque SD4 Coupé Dynamic, Fuji White, Santoriny Pano roof, Lux pack, RSE, style 8 wheels, along with everything else.
