2020 LAND ROVER DEFENDER Structurebody Problems

2020 Land Rover Defender with air intake snorkel was detached from the vehicle driving down the highway during a windy day. I see that Land Rover has recalled the snorkel for 2023 and 2024 models for that very reason. The recall should include 2020 models as well! I've noticed that there are many Land Rover Defender owners talking about this same issue online.

Driver's side A Pillar trim came loose at 75 mph on freeway and blew off the side of the car. Also pulled out mounting bolt for A Pillar Trim.

My front windshield cracked to the point of requiring replacement with neither notice nor reasonable cause (no impact, no crack starting point, besides the bottom edge, no temperature gradients, no pressure applied to the windshield).

ON THE 2020 LAND ROVER DEFENDER, A KNOWN PROBLEM IS A RATTLING SOUND OF THE PASSENGER SIDE A-PILLAR. LAND ROVER POSTED A BULLETIN ON HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE AND I BROUGHT IT FOR A FIX IN NOVEMBER, BUT THE SOUND PERSISTED. YESTERDAY WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THERE WERE HEAVY CROSS WINDS AND THE A-PILLAR FLEW OFF THE VEHICLE INTO TRAFFIC BUT DID NOT HIT ANYONE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE ENGINEERS NEED TO FIX THIS.

ON AUGUST 3RD, WHILE DRIVING WEST-SOUTHWEST AT APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH ON INTERSTATE 90 IN MONTANA, THE A-PILLAR COVER BECAME LOOSE AND THE SMALL COVER AT THE BASE OF THE A PILLAR FLEW FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE MOVING. THE TWO REMAINING PIECES REMAINED ON THE VEHICLE, ONE PIECE BARELY HELD ON BY A SCREW AT THE BASE, THE OTHER HELD ON WITH ABOUT 50% OF THE ADHESIVE STILL INTACT. BOTH WOULD HAVE FLOWN OFF HAD WE NOT IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND REMOVED EACH WITH THE TOOLS I HAD IN THE CAR (PERSONAL TOOLS I HAPPENED TO HAVE WITH ME). THE TWO PIECES THAT REMAINED ON THE CAR WERE APPROXIMATELY 26 INCHES LONG, ONE 5 INCHES WIDE, THE OTHER 3 INCHES WIDE. THE EVENT STARTLED MY WIFE BUT COULD HAVE REALLY IMPACTED A CAR BEHIND US HAD THE TWO PIECES COME OFF. PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, I HEARD A LOT OF 'FLUTTERING'...
