-
Tank assembly (fuel system)
The bottom of the fuel tank can corrode over time allowing fuel to leak.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and replace the tank if needed.

Switch (exterior lighting)
The electrical switch adjacent to the brake pedal which operates the brake lamps may fail to operate.
Remedy: Replace the brake lamp switch with an improved version.
-
Hoses, lines/piping, and fittings (service brakes)
The right rear metal brake line could come in contact with the top of the right rear shock absorber. This could lead to an eventual fluid leak in one of the two brake circuits.

Checking a specific 1990 Land Rover Range Rover
How do I know if my 1990 Land Rover Range Rover has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN above. The VIN is on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb sticker, and your registration or insurance card. The check runs against NHTSA's live database and tells you which campaigns list your vehicle. 3 campaigns currently list the 1990 Land Rover Range Rover; your car may already have been repaired under some of them.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Under federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale to the first owner. Contact any authorised Land Rover dealer with your VIN and the NHTSA campaign number (for example 91V069000).
What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?
A recall is a safety campaign filed by the manufacturer or ordered by NHTSA, with a defined defect and remedy. A complaint is a report an owner sent to NHTSA; it is not verified, but patterns of complaints are what trigger NHTSA investigations and, eventually, recalls.
