What's wrong?
The flexible front brake hoses on the 2006-2012 Land Rover Range Rover carry brake fluid under pressure to the front brakes. They are designed to bend as the suspension and steering move while keeping the hydraulic brake system sealed. When the hose stays intact, pedal pressure turns into braking force at the front wheels.
On affected Range Rover SUVs, one or both front brake hoses can rupture. A rupture opens the sealed hydraulic system and lets brake fluid escape. Once fluid is lost, the brake system has less pressure available to apply the brakes, so stopping the vehicle becomes harder and less predictable.
The warning sign is tied to brake fluid loss. The instrument cluster illuminates a red warning triangle and displays "check brake fluid." If that message appears, stop driving when it is safe and seek qualified assistance.
