Land Rover Recall 20V-325: Latches/locks/linkages – latch

Affected: 2016 Land Rover Range Rover, 2016 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. Filed with NHTSA on June 4, 2020, covering about 785 vehicles.

The problem

Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2016 Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles. These vehicles were previously recalled and repaired under Recall 19V-390, however the repair may not have been completed properly. A spring in the Keyless Vehicle Latching System (KV Latch) may get stuck, causing the left hand door to remain unlatched when the door is closed.

The risk

An unlatched door may open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.

The fix

Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the software, and inspect the KV latches, replacing them if necessary, free of charge. This recall is expected to begin July 24, 2020. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N459.
