What is wrong
On some sport utility vehicles, the accelerator cable could have become kinked during vehicle assembly, resulting in chaffing of the cable. Continued chaffing can lead to breakage of the interior cable strands.
The risk
Breakage of the cable strands can result in the throttle being stuck in the open position, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the damaged cables where necessary. Owner notification began march 6, 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact land rover at 1-[removed].
Notes from the manufacturer
Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-[removed]).
