I noticed Autotrader lists the 2008 LR2 as having one recall (see http://tinyurl.com/lr2recall & scroll to bottom). However they don't say what the recall was. Does anyone have any ideas where we can find recall notices? Installed a hitch, stock roof rack, mantec skid plates, General Grabbers AT2 255/60/R18, and a rear access ladder. Also made a hitch-mount for the winch. Looking to install a front hitch, rooft-top basket, and lift kit.

However they may be different in the States.
