Land Rover Discovery: The doors can open unintentionally while driving

19/10/2023

Land Rover is recalling 36,303 Discovery vehicles built between 2016 and 2020. The reason for the recall is that water entering the locking system can corrode the locking mechanism of the rear doors. This can lead to a condition of false locking, whereby the doors can open unintentionally while driving. This issue only affects vehicles fitted with the Unilatch Keyless Vehicle (KV) entry function.

The KBA monitors the measure with the reference number: “013200” and the internal manufacturer code is: “N798“.
