What this recall means for you
Some SUVs have a keyless latching system (KV Latch) that can leave a door appearing closed while it is actually unlatched. The door can then open while the vehicle is moving, which raises the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the KV system for any issues, disable the KV mechanisms if needed, and update the KV Latch software. The repair is free. Vehicles in this recall were previously recalled under 15V-385 and need to be remedied again, so owners should not assume the earlier fix covers this issue.
Land Rover will notify owners, but you can also contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837 and check your VIN for open recalls.
