- The recall is specific to 2007 to 2009MY Freelander 2 Diesel vehicles fitted with an electric booster heater. VINs from H000100 to H111695.
- Risk
- The product poses a risk of fire because condensation from the air conditioning evaporator mounted in the air conditioning unit can come into contact with the control circuit for the additional electric booster heater; resulting in a short circuit. This would normally cause draining of the battery which will eventually go flat, leading to a non-start situation. Additionally, the short circuit may lead to a distinct smell from hot and/or melted components which, in extreme circumstances, may develop into a fire inside the vehicle. All of these symptoms can occur either when the vehicle is in use or parked and unattended.
