The problem
Certain sport utility vehicles equipped with dynamic stability control May have been fitted with a yaw rate sensor that has internally delaminated, which could actuate the system incorrectly.
The risk
This could result in uneven and unexpected application of the brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the vehicles to determine if they contain a suspect sensor, and if necessary, replace the sensor. The recall began on April 15, 2005. Owners should contact Land Rover at 1-800-637-6837.
