Transfer Case recall/replacement.

[PBD]

My transfer case was replaced when it went for a four week overhaul. Get an awful thump from both the front and rear diff lockers when they disengage, I can feel the thump through the seat! No rear wash either. Reported faults to same contacts over a week ago and they have just deffed me!

that doesn't sound right. while my high/low change is very stiff and still requires some small movement forward/backwards in neutral the locking/unlocking of the central and cross diffs has no real perceptible sound or feel..... Hope they sort it out asap for you.

I hear a sloshing sound also. It is not the fuel tank?
If it's in the sill how does one release it?

Its not fuel for sure. I have no idea how IA will convince me it is dried out . A conversation for next week !

I think its fuel as I've checked the sills which are dry and it only happens after my fuel goes below half .

I have just ordered mine (albeit off the stock in the lot) and now being told that they are waiting for parts for a recall on the transfer case (amongst other things). Whats the normal turnaround for replacement parts?

I should add - my experience to date has been horrendous.

I am surprised that you have now ordered a Grenadier and that it is affected by a recall regarding the transfer case. As far as I know, all gearboxes currently being delivered are OK. Only for the first deliveries INEOS wants to make sure that there is no damage and is replacing the gearboxes as a precaution. So far, I am not aware of any gearbox that has disassembled itself.

Thanks Rovie - I have my doubts about the veracity of what I'm being told. I have had no news from the dealer and only when I showed up to the service center to ask for information did I get a call back mentioning this as an issue.. maybe my "new" Grenadier is not so new? Well its definitely not a made to order one as it was already in the showroom last week so maybe its been sat in the lot waiting for a buyer to come along..
What annoys me is that if the issue was known - then I should have really been made aware of it and it should have been dealt with before the car was sold.

I have a call tomorrow with the head of the service center so will update this thread then.

Yes, I would definitely confront him. Unfortunately, I can't tell you up to which serial number the gearboxes are replaced as a precaution. I don't think the dealer knows that either. This is because the dealers only receive the relevant chassis numbers during recall campaigns and then contact the owners. Have a look at the chassis number of your vehicle and, if possible, other vehicles in the yard to see if they are in the same order of magnitude.

Needless to say, they never rang
