Vehicles Affected: Approximately 6,200 model-year 2013-16 Land Rover Range Rover SUVs and model-year 2014-16 Range Rover Sport SUVs involved in a previous recall
The Problem: Due to a problem with the keyless vehicle latching system, the doors may appear to be closed but may be unlatched, which could lead to the door opening while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a crash. The repair from the previous recall may not have been completed properly.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect for any issues with the keyless vehicle system, disabling the KV mechanisms if necessary and updating the KV latch software for free.
What Owners Should Do:Land Rover will begin notifying owners Aug. 28. Owners can call the automaker at 800-637-6837, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
