The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 9 model years this bulletin names have filed 895 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 432 of them name Engine, Electrical System, Power Train — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
On the 2017 Land Rover Range Rover, the 14 owners who gave an odometer reading for Engine reported it at a median of 22,000 miles. That figure is one model year’s, not the whole range this bulletin covers — medians from different model years are not averaged.
The lock actuators in my vehicle (except for the driver door and tailgate) have all failed. It started when my 2016 Land Rover was at approximately 118,000 miles, with the rear driver side door failing first. Then in the last 30 days, the rear passenger side door and the front passenger side door fail to lock or get stuck locked.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Land Rover SFCC-APRIL19-Sli a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the SFCC-APRIL19-Sli repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does SFCC-APRIL19-Sli cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 9 model years: 2019 Land Rover Discovery, 2018 Land Rover Discovery, 2017 Land Rover Discovery, 2016 Land Rover Discovery, 2016 Land Rover LR4, 2019 Land Rover Range Rover and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
