What is wrong
On certain sport utility vehicles, a stress crack can develop in the plastic fuel tanks.
The risk
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.
The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel tank. Owner notification began march 15, 2005. Owners should contact land rover at 1-[removed].
Notes from the manufacturer
Land rover recall no. B156.customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-[removed]).
