Issue: 1

Date: 23 DEC 2009

SECTION: 501

SAFETY RECALL: Supplementary Restraints System Warning Light

AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
Range Rover (LM) VIN: AA304426 - AA315894
Model Year: 2010

CONDITION SUMMARY:

Situation:

A concern has been identified with the Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) passenger airbag which may be disabled as a result of a temporary loss of communication through the High Speed Controller- Area Network (HS CAN) between the passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) and Restraints Control Module (RCM). The loss of communication will lead to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) U0154-00 being set in the RCM along with continuous illumination of the SRS warning lamp on the instrument cluster and the illumination of the 'Pass Air Bag Off' lamp in the overhead console. The condition may clear on subsequent ignition cycles.

Action:

Retailers are required to HOLD all affected new vehicles in your control and withhold them from onward distribution pending completion of the Repair Procedure outlined below. Vehicles must not be released until successful reconfiguration of the Restraints Control Module (RCM). Affected vehicles in the hands of owners should be repaired at the next available opportunity. At the time of customer appointment, ensure that all outstanding service campaigns for each individual vehicle are identified and allocate sufficient time and resources to complete all campaigns. For cars in Retailer inventory, this Recall action should be performed in conjunction with the vehicle Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI).

PARTS:

No parts necessary

TOOLS:

IDS with IDS-DVD119_V8.06 or later and Calibration File 22 or later
Midtronics PSC-550 Vehicle Power Supply
