Jaguar Land Rover recalling 4000 Discovery models over rear door latch

Jaguar Land Rover Australia is recalling more than 4000 L462-series Discovery vehicles manufactured from 2016 to 2020 over a potentially faulty latch on the rear passenger doors.

Due to a manufacturing defect, water may enter the rear passenger door latches and cause corrosion in the return spring. As a result, the doors may not latch whilst in closed position and the hazard warning light may not display on the instrument cluster as intended.

If the rear passenger’s door does not latch as intended, it could open whilst the vehicle is in motion and increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants or other road users.

Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by Jaguar Land Rover Australia requesting to take their vehicle to an approved dealership to inspect and rectify the vehicle, free of charge.
