Land Rover is recalling 6,211 model year 2013-2016 Range Rovers and model year 2014-2016 Range Rover Sports previously recalled and repaired in 2019. However the repair may not have been completed properly.

Due to a problem with the Key less Vehicle Latching System (KV Latch), the Unlatched doors may open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a crash.

What to do

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 is expected to begin August 28, 2020.

Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at (800) 452-4827. Land Rover's number for this recall is N476.
