Problem Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC (Land Rover) is recalling certain 2016 Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles. These vehicles were previously recalled and repaired under Recall 19V-390, however the repair may not have been completed properly. A spring in the Keyless Vehicle Latching System (KV Latch) may get stuck, causing the left hand door to remain unlatched when the door is closed. Risk An unlatched door may open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of injury or a crash. Fix Land Rover will notify owners, and dealers will update the software, and inspect the KV latches, replacing them if necessary, free of charge. This recall is expected to begin July 24, 2020. Owners may contact Land Rover customer service at 1-800-637-6837. Land Rover's number for this recall is N459.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. N459 is the number Land Rover assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 20V325000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
