“My private mechanic gave me a computer print out that there is a recall action on my 2004 Land Rover Discovery - on-board diagnostic software . The check engine light has come on twice; first time repaired by lr & the 2nd time they would not fix it & told there was no recall. There clearly was a recall issued by lr.”
