What's wrong?
The door latch on 2013-2016 Land Rover Range Rover and Range Rover Sport SUVs is the mechanical catch that holds each door shut after it closes. When it works correctly, the latch grabs the striker on the body, locks the door in place, and keeps it secured until an occupant or the power lock system releases it.
On SUVs included in recall 15V385, the door latch does not reliably stay latched after the door is closed. That means a door can look closed but still release unexpectedly. The issue is in the latch and lock linkage area, the hardware that connects the door handle, lock, and latch so the door opens only when commanded.
There is no warning sign before failure. Check each door after closing it, and treat any door that does not stay firmly shut as a reason to stop using that seating position until the recall repair is complete.

What's the safety risk?
An unlatched door can distract the driver and increase the risk of a crash. An unbelted occupant can also fall out if the door opens while the vehicle is moving. Wear seatbelts, use extra care with door latches, and schedule the software update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Land Rover dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2016 Land Rover Range Rover or Range Rover Sport is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Land Rover dealer to schedule the free keyless-entry software update that keeps the doors from unlatching unexpectedly when closed.
- Bring the recall notice if Land Rover mailed one. Reference recall number 15V385 when you call.
- Wear seatbelts on every trip and make sure all doors are fully closed until the software update is complete.
- Avoid carrying passengers in a seat with a door that does not stay latched until the dealer completes the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Land Rover technician updates the keyless entry software so the door latches respond as intended. The software update and related labor are free under recall 15V385. If you already paid for a door latch or keyless entry software repair tied to this recall, ask Land Rover customer service about the general reimbursement plan on file and keep your repair paperwork for review.
