SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETIN

Reference Number(s): Q057, Date of Issue: 29 JAN 2009

LAND ROVER:	2003 - 2005 Freelander (LN)
ISSUE:	1
SECTION:	310
AFFECTED VEHICLES:	Freelander (LN) USA vehicles only - VIN: 3A220225 - 4A299998; 4A400001 - 5A490726; Model Year: 2003 - 2005

CONDITION SUMMARY

NOTE: THIS SERVICE ACTION IS VALID FOR TWO YEARS ONLY AND WILL EXPIRE 31 JANUARY 2011

Situation

The in-line fuel filters fitted to fuel delivery modules in Freelander 2.5L KV6 gasoline vehicles may be manufactured away from specification. The fuel filters may contain an uncontrolled amount of the adhesive used to bond the filter paper to the filter casing; the adhesive may not have been adequately cured; or the fuel pump inlet stub pipe hole on the fuel filter may have inadequate dimensional controls. In any of these cases, it is possible for these conditions to prevent adequate fuel flow through either restrictions in the filter or cracking of the pump stub pipe. This leads to increased pump motor use to maintain the required engine-demanded fuel and premature wear of the fuel pump motor brushes.

In the event of restricted fuel flow, the vehicle may suffer one or more of the following symptoms: rough running and malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) illumination; poor / no start; engine stumble or hesitation; or engine cut-out / stall with the possibility of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0171, P0174 or P0316 stored.
