2013 Land Rover Range Rover Technical Service Bulletins

1,098 technical service bulletins (TSBs) are on record for the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover. TSBs are notes manufacturers send to dealers about repair procedures for issues seen in the field. They are not recalls and do not by themselves mean a vehicle has a fault.

• 10105725Sep 30, 2015Electrical system, Engine cooling. "situation: the engine malfunction indicator lamp (mil) may be illuminated. Upon diagnosis, the technician may find one or more diagnostic trouble c ode (dtc ), listed in the table below and relevant to the heated oxygen sensors (ho2s), may be stored in the engine control module (ecm). Cause: this may be caused by thermal shock when water contacts the heated sensing element."
