- The defect
- 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.
- What it can cause
- An unlatched door may open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 785 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 56% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2016, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Land Rover vehicles have been recalled over the latches/locks/linkages 5 times before this, most recently in May 2019 as 19V392000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 149 complaints with NHTSA, 22 of them before this campaign was filed. 9 of those name the latches/locks/linkages, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in July 2016, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V527000 (steering), 25V514000 (steering), 24V840000 (steering), 22V219000 (seat belts).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC with NHTSA on June 4, 2020 as campaign 20V325000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
