News: Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Land Rover for Uneven, Premature Tire Wear

 If you own or lease a Land Rover LR3 or a 2006 Range Rover Sport and are experiencing uneven and premature wearing of the tires, you might want to investigate the details of a class action lawsuit here.  

The law firm of Shepherd, Finkelman, Miller & Shah has filed class action complaints against Land Rover of North America alleging that Land Rover LR3 model tires are wearing unevenly and prematurely, thus, causing owners and lessees to replace the tires after a very short life-span. On average, it appears that consumers’ tires are wearing unevenly especially on the inside of the tires and many have to replace the tires prematurely. Land Rover issued a technical service bulletin LA 204-005 in the US in October 2006, which covers VINS from 5A000360 to 6A403382. The technical service bulletin states that uneven tire wear may be caused by a degree of bush settle that affects the geometry of the tires increasing tire wear. In October 2006, Land Rover also issued technical service bulletin LS 204-008 in the United States, which covers Range Rover (LS) VIN Nos. 6A900129 to 6A970174. Technical service bulletin LS 204-008 likewise attributes premature tire wear in these vehicles to the steering alignment geometry of the affected vehicles experiencing "bushing settlement."
