What NHTSA recorded

On certain sport utility vehicles, a stress crack can develop in the plastic fuel tanks.

Possible consequence

Cracks which continue to propagate can ultimately result in signs of liquid fuel from the underside of the vehicle when filling the tank, particularly if overfilling is attempted. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the fuel tank. Owner notification began march 15, 2005. Owners should contact land rover at 1-800-637-6837.
