Complaint history

When NHTSA received these reports. Changes in reporting alone do not establish a change in failure rates.

Problems owners report

Listed groups have at least 3 complaints. The page includes the 20 largest groups plus any additional flagged groups; some complaints are not assigned to a group.

AI groups complaints by meaning; the groups are approximate. Share ratio compares the problem’s share of this vehicle’s complaints with its share on other vehicles over the last 24 months (shown from 3 recent complaints). A 2× ratio means twice the complaint share, not twice the failure risk. Flags mark unusual shares or recent surges after an AI review of the complaint content. “First signal” does not mean the pattern has persisted continuously.How recall estimates are calculated.

Recalls

• NHTSA recall #08V055000February 5, 200812,353 vehicles affected

  visibility: sun/moon roof assembly

  Land Rover is recalling 12,353 my 2008 LR2 vehicles built with a sunroof. Failure of either the left or right hand side sunroof guide rail Can occur when the sunroof is operated. Excessive stress Can develop in the over-molded bracket which could lead to cracking during normal sunroof operation. If cracks occur and propagate in a certain area of the guide rail, fragments of the plastic over-mold material may detach from the guide rail and obstruct the operation of the sunroof.

  The obstruction could cause the sunroof, when operated, to bind, twist, and potentially detach from the operating mechanism. If the sunroof is subsequently cycled and a vertical force applied, i.e., a customer manually aiding the roof to close or wind lift, the glass panel Can become fully detached from the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

  Remedy

  Dealers will install retention inserts to both sides of the glass panel guide rails. The recall began on february 29, 2008. Owners may contact Land Rover at 1-800-637-6837.
