Land Rover Recalls Range Rover Models for Door Latch Defect

Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain 2013-2016 Range Rover and 2014-2016 Range Rover Sport vehicles. The recall involves 65,385 vehicles affected by a defect in the Keyless Vehicle Latching System (KV Latch). Due to this problem, the vehicle doors may appear to be closed but may actually be unlatched.

The unlatched door may open while the vehicle is in motion, which increases the risk of a crash. This recall is a follow-up to a previous recall (15V-385) for the same vehicles, which need to be remedied again.

Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will inspect for any issues with the KV system, disabling the KV mechanisms if necessary, and update the KV Latch software free of charge. The recall began on July 18, 2019. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
