The risk
The gearbox may fail to lock when the gearshift lever is put into the parking position “P”, which could lead to the vehicle moving if the handbrake is not activated.In the case of the Discovery 3, in addition to this defect, the vehicle is equipped with xenon headlights without the system of automatic dynamic height control that is required by law.The rolling away of the vehicle when in the parking position may lead to collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians and cause traffic accidents. The lack of automatic dynamic height control for the xenon headlights of the Discovery 3 could reduce visibility for the driver or blind other vehicles, thereby increasing the risk of accidents.
