Land Rover Discovery Series II: Steering
Affects Land Rover Discovery Series II · 2000 — about 242 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, vibration in the Active Cornering Enhancement (ACE) high pressure hydraulic tubing can result in a leak and loss of system fluid. Low fluid levels can result in system pump failure which will throw off the auxiliary drive belt, resulting in a loss of engine auxiliary functions (power steering, water pump, alternator and air conditioning). Should this occur, steering effort will be increased, which may increase the risk of a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will install new specification hydraulic tubing.
