Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Land Rover is recalling certain rear driveshaft couplings (part number TVF100010) that were manufactured between April 2011 and November 2011 and sold as service parts for 1995-1999 Discovery, 1999-2004 Discovery II, and 1995 Range Rover Classic vehicles. Some of these couplings may not have been manufactured to proper specifications and may exhibit joint separation, which begins with driveline vibration. If this vibration warning is ignored, catastrophic failure of the drive coupling can occur, causing the driveshaft to detach from the vehicle while in motion. This could result in loss of drive and loss of transmission park functionality, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash and injury.
Land Rover dealers will replace the affected rear driveshaft couplings free of charge. The recall began on May 4, 2012. According to the recall record, owners should contact Jaguar Land Rover North America at 1-201-818-8500.
