Sunroof / Moonroof Track: Recalls
Recall 08V055000: Sunroof Guide Rail Modification
MAKE/MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:
Land Rover/LR2 2008
MANUFACTURER: Land Rover
MFR'S REPORT DATE: January 30, 2008
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V055000
NHTSA Action Number: N/A
COMPONENT: Visibility: Sun Roof Assembly
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 12353
SUMMARY:
Land Rover is recalling 12,353 M/Y 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.
CONSEQUENCE:
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 is expected to begin during February 2008. Owners may
contact Land Rover at 1-800-637-6837.
NOTES:
Land Rover recall No. P009. Customers may also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at
