NHTSA Complaint #10397522 — 2005 LAND ROVER LR3

MY SUNROOF ON MY 2005 LAND ROVER LR3 HAS SAME ISSUES AS BELOW THAT WAS ON A PREVIOUS RECALL ISSUE OF A 2008 LR2 LAND ROVER RECALL NUMBER #08V055000 THE VEHICLE WAS BUILT WITH A SUNROOF. FAILURE OF EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT HAND SIDE SUNROOF GUIDE RAIL CAN OCCUR WHEN THE SUNROOF IS OPERATED. EXCESSIVE STRESS CAN DEVELOP IN THE OVER-MOLDED BRACKET WHICH COULD LEAD TO CRACKING DURING NORMAL SUNROOF OPERATION. IF CRACKS OCCUR AND PROPAGATE IN A CERTAIN AREA OF THE GUIDE RAIL, FRAGMENTS OF THE PLASTIC OVER-MOLD MATERIAL MAY DETACH FROM THE GUIDE RAIL AND OBSTRUCT THE OPERATION OF THE SUNROOF. THIS IS NOT A PART IN WHICH YOU NEED TO BRING IT IN AND SERVICE PER THE SERVICE MANUAL TO PREVENT MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN, AND THE CUSTOMER CAN HAVE CAUSED THIS THEN NORMAL USE. *TR
