Land Rover Recall P024: Driveshaft Coupler/Service Part

1996 Land Rover Discovery

If this increased vibration warning sign is ignored, catastrophic failure of the drive coupling can occur. The driveshaft may detach from the vehicle while in motion resulting in loss of drive and loss of transmission park functionality, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash and/or injury.
