Driver Door Handle Repair Procedure

MODEL

New Range Rover all derivatives

DETAIL

This procedure should be used for repairing a driver’s outside door handle if the plastic actuating lever has broken. This repair avoids the delays of ordering a matched replacement handle/lock assembly.

If an outside passenger door handle should fail, the complete handle assembly should be replaced.

From VIN LP 310272 onwards stronger handle parts and a revised assembly process have been introduced at the factory.

It is important that care be taken when connecting the latch actuating rod to the lever because over-stressing the lever can lead to subsequent failure

ACTION REQUIRED

Use the following repair kit and procedure to repair.
