Risk
This can lead to an increase in braking distance that is unanticipated by the driver.
Remedy
Dealers will install a new ecu. Owner notification began march 6, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact land rover at 1‑301‑731‑9040.
