This site holds seven national and European registers. Land Rover FREELANDER is named on 12 British notices and 5 European. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The British register
The European register
- EU Safety Gate alert A12/1131/12: Land Rover Freelander, notified by United Kingdom
- EU Safety Gate alert A12/1901/12: Land Rover Evoque And Freelander, notified by United Kingdom
- EU Safety Gate alert A12/1087/13: Land Rover, Range Rover Land Rover Freelander 2 And Range Rover Evoque, notified by United Kingdom
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles, the brake lamp switch may become maladjusted as a result of incorrect setting procedure during vehicle assembly or as a result of switch mounting bracket flex. A maladjusted switch may allow the contacts to remain permanently connected as the switch has reached the extent of its travel, which may result in the brake lamps remaining permanently illuminated. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, where required, adjust and/or replace the brake lamp switch.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2007031.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Land Rover: 127 in the register, and 420 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2007.
