LR3

  • 61,701 miles
My sunroof on my 2005 Land Rover LR3 has same issues as below that was on a previous recall issue of a 2008 LR2 Land Rover recall number #08V055000 the vehicle was 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. This is not a part in which you need to bring it in and service per the service manual to prevent mechanical breakdown, and the customer can have caused this then normal use.

The vehicle has sensors that inform pedestrian's when it is backing up and about to hit someone. The back up sensors would take up to 15 seconds to engage after the vehicle was already backed up. The warning system sometimes works fine and sometimes.
