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.

LR3

  • 65,000 miles
Rear window on Land Rover LR3 dropped on my wife as she was unloading vehicle. The vehicle body attachment of the passenger side support arm failed and this problem has been reported within the Land Rover service organizations but is being treated as a warranty problem. My wife was hurt in this accident as she was hit in the head. I consider this a product defect that should be considered for a recall-- since Land Rover already acknowledges this as a problem.
