2016 Land Rover Range Rover Danville, CA

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH

My 2016 Range Rover has the symptoms (doors may appear to be closed but may be unlatched) that match NHTSA Campaign Number 20V387000. However, Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC will not include my vehicle in this recall since my VIN falls outside the VIN range. As NHTSA Campaign Number 20V387000 states, "unlatched doors may open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a crash." Because of this, any vehicle in the make/model/year affected by NHTSA Campaign Number 20V387000 should be addressed as it is a safety issue to have closed doors possibly open while the vehicle is in motion.

THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS PERIODICALLY LOCK AND WILL NOT UNLOCK NOR OPEN EITHER BY REMOTE, INTERIOR CONSOLE BUTTON, NOR BY INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES.

THE PROBLEM IS UNEXPECTED AND SPORADIC, MAY LAST A FEW HOURS OR A FEW DAYS, HAVE HAD PROBLEM ON MY CAR SINCE PURCHASED TWO YEARS AGO. PROBLEM RELATES TO COMPUTER CONTROLLED LOCKING SYSTEM AND NOT CHILD CONTROLS, ONCE THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS ARE LOCKED (WHICH MAY HAPPEN AUTOMATICALLY), THEY WILL NOT UNLOCK AND INTERIOR DOOR LATCH HANDLES WILL ALSO NOT ALLOW OPENING OF DOORS, FOR PRACTICAL PURPOSES SAME AS HAVING REAR DOORS WELDED SHUT WITH NO WAY TO OPEN. OTHER OWNERS REPORT SAME PROBLEM AS COMMON ON OWNER FORUMS. PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT SINCE REAR PASSENGERS CAN NOT OPEN DOORS TO EXIT VEHICLE.
