the vin for the vehicle was not included and neither component would be included. The contact acquired the vin from the dealership and contacted the manufacturer that determined this was not an accurate vin and there was no record of this recall. There is not an nhtsa recall number, but the number on the letter is b156. Updated 07/03/06. *Jb
I own a range rover, county model vin: [[redacted]], purchased in 1992. I have replaced 2 fuel tanks due to what 2 different mechanics have told me is leaking fuel due to faulty seams on the plastic fuel tanks.

After market companies have told me the same. I have contacted land rover and they have told me that no recall has happened at...

this point in time. I am able to smell fuel around my vehicle especially after filling the tank. It would make sense to believe that fuel tanks should last the life of the vehicle without ever leaking, especially 2 fuel tanks. The replacement fuel tanks should also be available for purchase even if there is not a recall. I am concerned that this presents a fire hazard and the vehicle should be recalled. I believe that this matter needs the immediate attention of the nhtsa. I am told by rover mechanics that other owners are experiencing the same problem, and that rover's discontinuance of production is the result of the "problems they are having with tank failure". What are we to do? They won't recall a known problem and every day we drive our family around with a strong odor of gas fumes coming from the rear of the vehicle. This is an extremely costly repair involving what could be a life threatening problem.

its corossion warranty). I have complained about the rust/ safety issue since the vehicle was new! There are a limited number of these vehicles in north america, however, every vehicle has the issue of major rust in the lower door sill area where the seat belt anchor is located! Additionally, the fuel tank on this vehicle has rusted through, and is now leaking. The tank in this vehicle, is the same part (and part number) installed in the 1987-1992 land rover- range rovers which was recalled in 1995-1996 by the ntsha
