Recall - ACE(R) System Pipe leakage: Overview
No: D231Ref:
Issue: 1
Date: 01/12/01
RECALL
ACE System Pipe Leak
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
Discovery Series II (LT) YA261114 to YA263118
SITUATION:
ACE HIGH-PRESSURE PIPE MISBUILD
Some ACE high pressure supply pipes may have been manufactured missing the first of two inline attenuators located inside the hose section near the pump. A missing attenuator will induce high strain levels on the rigid connection between the hose and the pump. These vibrations could in turn lead to fatigue at the connector and leakage of ACE fluid from the pipe.
RESOLUTION:
INSPECT HIGH PRESSURE ACE HOSE AND REPLACE IF INDICATED
All Discovery Series II models fitted with ACE within the affected VIN range above, will require inspection of the high pressure hose to determine if the attenuator is installed. Replacement of the high pressure supply pipe assembly will be required if the inspection reveals a missing attenuator.

RECALL CAMPAIGN LABEL INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Campaign labels may have multiple Campaign numbers written on them if multiple campaigns are performed at the same time.
1. Obtain a Recall label (LRN0002LABEL) and prepare as follows:
a) Place the label on a hard surface.
b) Use a ballpoint pen and neatly write in the bare aluminum areas of the label the following information:
^ Recall campaign code "D231"
^ Your retailer code
^ Date of repair
CAUTION:
Do not touch the exposed label adhesive with your fingers. The bond will be diminished if contaminated prior to application.
2. Clean all grease and dirt from the radiator support member in the area shown.
3. Peel the completed campaign label from the backing paper and position it on the cleaned area of the cross member.
4. Roll the label with the special roller tool to ensure that the adhesive makes continuous contact with the cross member surface.
