NHTSA Complaint #11713493 — 2016 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT

On 17th of January, 2026, the backseat door, behind Driver's seat, failed and continues to fail to close and/or latch shut due to door/keyless latching mechanism/system. On January 17, 2026 backseat door, behind Driver's seat, swung open twice while driving and would not latch or shut close. Backseat door, behind Driver's seat, continues to fail to close or latch shut securely. Only warning of this was the lights turning on in the vehicle during the event. Upon returning home and looking up online what could be the cause and how to remedy I found Land Rover Recall P068, which states: NOTIFICATION OF SAFETY RECALL P068: VEHICLE DOOR MAY NOT LATCH, SERVICE BULLETIN. 16-JUN-15 NO.: SRE15-12 SECTION: RECALL MARKET: USA: A concern has been identified on 2014-2016 model year Range Rover Sport (L494) and 2013-2016 model year Range Rover (L405) vehicles where customers have reported the door is unlatched when in the closed position and no indication provided of a of an unlatched condition. Some customers have reported that one door has opened while the vehicle was in motion. No notification was ever received for this recall. I contacted the Van Nuys Land Rover dealership that same week and was informed they would not remedy and no recall existed.
