LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

The contact owns a 2014 Land Rover Range Rover. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and making a turn, the front driver's side door unexpectedly opened due to a latch failure. The contact stated that he drilled some holes and installed wires to keep the front driver's side door securely closed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 147,260.

STEERING

The contact owns a 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. The contact received notification NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V514000 (Steering) in 2025. The contact had been calling the local dealer for an update on the parts but was advised that the part was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was informed about the lack of parts. The contact had not experienced a failure.

STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Our mechanic noted that there is rust/rot damage to the metal gas tank shield. It’s unknown how long this has existed.

STRUCTURE

On Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026, while my wife and daughter were driving in downtown [XXX] , the front passenger door spontaneously opened at [XXX] while the vehicle was in motion. This occurred despite the door being properly closed and latched. Fortunately, my daughter was wearing her seatbelt and was not injured, but this incident created a terrifying and life-threatening situation. Due to the dealerships being closed, I was forced to secure the door with ties to safely transport my family back to [XXX] . On April 7th, 2026, I dropped the car off at the dealer for repair of the safety recall. Most concerning is that my vehicle was in the care of the Richfield Land Rover dealership in March 19th, 2025 for several days for an engine oil leak repair totaling $6,718. At no point during this multi-day service was I notified of the open safety recall, nor was the remedy performed. When I confronted the service department today (April 7, 2026), I was told their "computer must have been down."

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Fuel tank shield is rusting and falling apart becoming a safety hazard

STRUCTURE

I purchased a 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport (VIN: [XXX] ) from AutoNation USA Wesley Chapel on May 17, 2025. Shortly after purchase, the driver-side door latch recall issue manifested when the door unexpectedly opened while the vehicle was traveling at highway speed. The incident was documented at the time it occurred. The vehicle was later serviced by AutoNation on August 26, 2025, where they stated the latch had been addressed. However, the NHTSA recall database still shows Manufacturer Recall N975 as incomplete for this VIN. This raises concern that the recall repair may not have been properly performed or reported, or that the vehicle was sold with an open safety recall that should have been identified and remedied prior to sale. Given that the driver-side door latch failure occurred while the vehicle was in motion shortly after purchasing the vehicle from AutoNation USA Wesley Chapel, which represented that a comprehensive multi-point inspection had been completed prior to sale, I am submitting this report as a safety concern regarding recall compliance, inspection practices, and repair documentation associated with this vehicle.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The failed component is the fuel tank cover that is rusted through. This poses a risk of fuel tank puncture because of the rough terrain I travel for work. This rust has been confirmed by the servicing agent. No warning lights appeared to indicate problem.
