Update Prior to Sale: Lower Tailgate Release Switch Cover
AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE:
LR4 (LA)
VIN: CA596988 - CA606510 (specific USA vehicles only)
Model Year: 2012
CONDITION SUMMARY:
Situation:
To ensure 2012 model year LR4 vehicles are supplied to customers with the very latest parts to enhance the vehicle owners experience, vehicles within the affected VIN range above require a new lower tailgate release switch cover. Opening the lower tailgate may be harder than expected or the release switch operation may be poor / intermittent.
Action:
Retailers are required to HOLD the affected vehicles within your control and refrain from releasing the vehicles for new or used vehicle sale pending completion of the rework action detailed in this Technical Bulletin. For vehicles in retailer inventory, this UPS should be performed in conjunction with the vehicle Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). For vehicles in retailer inventory which have already had the PDI completed, this UPS should be completed prior to final preparation / customer handover. For those vehicles already in the hands of customers, this should be done at the next available opportunity prior to the expiration date.
