LAND ROVER recall for fuel system, gasoline, reported to NHTSA on Apr 12, 2004, covering about 45,267 vehicles.
The problem
On certain sport utility vehicles, a stress crack can develop in the plastic fuel tanks.
The risk
Cracks which continue to propagate can ultimately result in signs of liquid fuel from the underside of the vehicle when filling the tank, particularly if overfilling is attempted. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, can result in a fire.
