What this recall means for you
Some Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles may have a door latching problem in the Keyless Vehicle Latching System. Earlier repairs under a previous recall may not have been completed properly. As a result, a door can look closed while actually being unlatched.
An unlatched door can open while the vehicle is moving, which raises the risk of a crash. Owners should keep this in mind and make sure all doors are fully closed and latched before driving.
The repair is free at an authorized Land Rover dealer. Dealers will inspect the keyless latch system, disable the KV mechanisms if needed, and update the KV Latch software. Owners can also contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-452-4827 (recall N476), and should check their VIN for open recalls.
