It's indeed being issued as a voluntary safety recall in North America:

Quote:

TSB#: P045
Date: 22 July 2008

RECALL: Rotary Coupler Wiring Fracture

AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
LR3 (LA) VIN: 5A309377 - 6A376426
Model Year: 2005 - 2006
Range Rover Sport (LS) VIN: 6A900290 - 6A939921
Model Year: 2006

CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation: Land Rover is initiating a voluntary safety recall on the vehicles in the affected VIN ranges. It is possible that the wires that connect the driver's airbag module to the rotary coupler on LR3 and Range Rover Sport vehicles could fracture. This may lead to an open circuit and the Supplemental Restraints System (SRS) warning light being illuminated on the instrument cluster. The wiring that connects the rotary coupler to the driver's air bag module may fracture as a result of relative motion between the rotary coupler and the steering wheel hub. This relative motion may be caused by factors such as internal friction within the rotary coupler assembly and friction caused by contact of the steering column cowl against the rotary coupler. Rotary coupler internal friction is caused by distortion of the steering column switch mounting platform as a consequence of misalignment of a location point on the steering column assembly.
Action: Under the provisions of this Recall action, a modification to the steering column switchgear will be made. For certain VINs, if upon inspection of the rotary coupler the part number is determined to be YRC500060, a new rubber sleeve will be installed.

PARTS:
QMB501300.............Service Kit Qty: 1

WARRANTY:
NOTE: Always check DDW to verify that the vehicle is affected by this Recall prior to undertaking any repair. DDW will reflect only those vehicles affected and un-repaired.
NOTE: Repair procedures are under constant review, and therefore times are subject to change; those quoted here must be taken as guidance only. Always refer to DDW to obtain the latest repair time.
Warranty claims should be submitted quoting program code P045, together with the appropriate Option Code. As Option Codes (B, C, D, and E) are used, there is no requirement to enter parts or labor. These are provided for information only. The Option Code for drive in / drive out allowance can only be claimed if the vehicle is brought back into the workshop for this Recall action alone to be undertaken.

CUSTOMER REIMBURSEMENT PROCESS:
If a customer indicates that they have previously paid for a replacement of the rotary coupler for this defect (vehicle out of warranty), a copy of the repair invoice must be produced as proof of the repair. The Retailer must directly reimburse the customer and a claim for recovery of this cost should be made using the related damage procedure.
Claims should be submitted quoting Program Code P045 and by clicking the 'Related Damage' radio button on the claim submission screen. The claim should be submitted using Option Code 'X' as detailed below and entering the cost to be reimbursed against the Sundry Code 'other'. All costs should be entered in local currency.
