Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Transport Canada lists: Discovery Series II 1999–2002

What is wrong

On certain sport utility vehicles the accelerator cable could have become kinked during vehicle assembly, resulting in chaffing of the cable. Continued chaffing can lead to breakage of the interior cable strands. Breakage of the cable strands can result in the throttle being stuck in the open position, increasing the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect and replace the damaged cables where necessary.

10 March 2002

Transport Canada lists: Discovery Series II 1999–2002

What is wrong

On certain sport utility vehicles contamination of an anti-lock braking system (ABS) sensor can cause the ABS electronic control unit (ecu) to incorrectly interpret the sensor signal, resulting in inappropriate abs activation. This can lead to an increase in braking distance that is unanticipated by the driver.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will install a new ECU.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, water contamination of the automatic transmission oil can lead to various failure modes of the transmission. One of these failure modes results in incorrect operation of the park lock function that could allow a vehicle to roll away if parked without the handbrake properly set.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will check the park lock function; reposition the automatic transmission breather tube; and test the automatic transmission fluid and flush if necessary.

21 August 2000

Transport Canada lists: Discovery Series II 1999–2000

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with the Active Cornering Enhancement (ACE) system, the left side engine idler pulley can fracture and ultimately fail. This would cause the pulley to throw off the serpentine belt, which can result in loss of auxiliary functions (power steering, water pump, alternator, air conditioning and ACE). Loss of steering assist would require increased steering effort and create the risk of a vehicle crash.

What the dealer will do

Plastic idler pulley will be removed and replaced with a newly designed steel pulley.

Brakes

21 October 1999

Transport Canada lists: Discovery Series II 1999

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the contacts of the relay, which operates the ABS pump, may stick and remain closed when commanded to open by the ABS Electronic Control Unit ECU. This will cause the anti-lock braking to cease to function and in certain circumstances the vehicle may experience inadvertent braking without activation of the brake lights. Such braking, without attendant brake lights, has the potential to cause an impact from a vehicle which is following too closely.

What the dealer will do

A new specification ABS relay will be installed on affected vehicles.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
