Chile 2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Stornoway Grey
Service action - Q054: Brake Pipe Contact with heat shield
For your information a new service action was issued last week.
I think that some of you had this problem

Regards

Model: Defender Right-Hand Drive with ABS
Model Year: 2007 to 2008
VIN Range: LD 732615 – LD 752724

A limited number of 2007/8MY Defender vehicles may have been manufactured away from
process and in some cases; the rear brake pipe may have been incorrectly routed/fitted resulting
in reduced clearance/contact with the heat shield. If the rear brake pipe is in contact with the
heat shield, this may result in the brake pipe wearing through.

Action to be taken
You are requested to contact the owners of the affected vehicles and request that the vehicle is
made available at the earliest opportunity so it can be inspected and where necessary the brake
pipe be re-routed or replaced. A sample customer letter for you to use is attached as Appendix 1.
The workshop procedure is attached as Appendix 2.
Please ensure all unsold vehicles are repaired prior to handover to the customer. Eduardo

has anyone actually been contacted to bring in their vehicles?
Mine has worn quite a groove in the heat shield already and I got mine in Feb 2008.
Will give the dealer another week and then call them myself.

Now this is interesting for 2 reasons
1) ive fixed mine...so i wonder it they will undo and redo
2) because mine was close not actually touching Mike
