What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (door latch) that could lead to injury or a crash, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain 2016 Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles. The recall involves 28,671 vehicles where a spring in the Keyless Vehicle Latching System (KV Latch) may get stuck. This defect can cause the left-hand door to remain unlatched even when the door is closed.

The unlatched door may open while the vehicle is in motion, which increases the risk of injury or a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text, but the potential for harm exists if the defect occurs during driving.

Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the software and inspect the KV latches, replacing them if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on December 6, 2019. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
