Service Brakes, Hydraulic › Pedals And Linkages — Land Rover · reported 31 Jan 1989 · 3,972 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
INCORRECT INSTALLATION OF A CIRCLIP HOLDING THE BRAKE PEDAL PIVOT SHAFT COULD ALLOW THE CIRCLIP TO DISENGAGE AND THE PIVOT SHAFT TO MOVE ENOUGH FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MOVE FROM ITS DESIGNED POSITION.
The risk
ALTHOUGH FULL BRAKING ACTION CAN STILL BE OBTAINED,DRIVER ALARM FROM THE INCORRECTLY POSITIONED PEDAL COULD RESULT IN ANINAPPROPRIATE ACTION BY THE DRIVER WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
The fix
REPAIR CIRCLIP INSTALLATION TO PREVENT ITS DISENGAGEMENT.
