| Land Rover recalls 34,000 Freelander SUVs
DETROIT, July 26 (Reuters) - Land Rover is recalling all 34,000
Freelander sport utility vehicles sold in North America due to defective
roof supports on either side of the windshield, federal safety regulators
said on Monday.
The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration cited the likelihood of head injuries,
in certain types of accidents, for the recall, which affects Freelanders
from the 2002-2004 model years.
Land Rover is part of
the Premier Automotive Group, Ford Motor Co.'s (NYSE:F - News) stable
of luxury European brands.
No injuries or deaths
have been linked to the recall of the British-built vehicles, said
Larry Rosinski, a spokesman at Premier Automotive's U.S. headquarters
in Irvine, California.
