Issue: 1
Date: 06/06/00

SERVICE ACTION

Inconsistent Jack Handle Dimension

AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:

Discovery Series II (LT) YA260323 to YA272525

SITUATION:

LOWER JACK HANDLE WILL NOT FIT JACK ASSEMBLY

Some lower jack handles installed in vehicles within the affected VIN range have been manufactured from incorrectly sized material. Handles manufactured of the incorrect material will not fit into the jack assembly.

RESOLUTION:

VERIFY CORRECT HANDLE FIT

At the first service opportunity check the fit of the jack handle to jack body. If the handle does not fit into the jack, supply a new lower jack handle to the owner tool kit. Not all vehicles will require the new handle, so all vehicles must be inspected.
