What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC is recalling certain 2013-2016 Range Rover and 2014-2016 Range Rover Sport vehicles. These vehicles were previously addressed under Recall 19V-392, but the repair may not have been completed properly. The issue involves the Keyless Vehicle Latching System (KV Latch), which can cause doors to appear closed while remaining unlatched.

Unlatched doors may open while the vehicle is in motion, which increases the risk of a crash. The recall affects 6,211 vehicles in total.

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 November 30, 2020. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-452-4827 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
