Recall Type: Vehicle

Defect Summary: 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.

Consequence Summary: 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.

Corrective Action: 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.
