2008 Land Rover LR2 recall: windows, wipers & mirrors
⚠️ What's wrong
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 risk
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.
🔧 The fix
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.
