Reported issue: Vehicle description: certain sport utility vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of fmvss no. 114, "theft protection." water contamination of the automatic transmission oil can lead to various failure modes of the transmission. One of these failure models results in incorrect operation of the park lock function that could allow a vehicle to roll away if parked without the handbrake properly set.
Possible consequence: Unintentional vehicle movement could result in a crash or personal injury.

Reported issue: Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. The loading conditions on the vehicle's left side engine idler pulley can exceed the maximum calculated figure of the original design specification.

Possible consequence: This could result in a loss of engine auxiliary functions (power steering, water pump, alternator, air conditioning and ace).
Remedy: Dealers will install an improved idler pulley.
- Engine and engine cooling › Cooling system › Hoses/lines/piping/fittingsCovers: Land Rover Range Rover 1995–1999

Consequently, coolant fluid can leak from the interface between the…
Possible consequence: Should this coolant collect on high temperature regions of the engine, the coolant fluid could ignite.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the throttle body gasket, de-icer attachment, and securing hardware.
- Engine and engine coolingCovers: Land Rover Range Rover 1995–1999
Reported issue: Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. As a result of water ingress and subsequent ice blockage, the transmission breather tube can become clogged, expelling transmission fluid from the dipstick tube onto hot engine components.
Possible consequence: This leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in an underhood fire.
Remedy: Dealers will remove the transmission breather tube from the inner fender and a section of the hose will be cut at an angle. This action will remove the end of the breather tube from any pooled water and will eliminate water droplets from clinging to the end of the tube.
