Exclamation NHTSA Notices

Hi there
here is a link to the NHTSA website and the Defender 2020

It lists 15 manufacturer (LR) communications regarding mechanical items including the pillar A issue

Thanks for sharing - I had both the A pillar noise and the sunroof not closing with one touch. Both were quick fixes at the dealer, but the A pillar noise is not quite gone yet. There are rumors that there is a better fix on the way, but nothing really confirmed.

Honestly, if stuff that can be fixed in 15 minutes is the worst of it for a brand new model, I will be pleased.

Thank you very much for sharing this. I will print it out and make sure with the dealer the updates are done -- before pickup at the end of next month.

I am pissed that this bulletin was published in late June yet my retailer acted like my vehicle was the first to have the issue in late July. Literally before signing the papers, I had to prove to them on several test drives up to 60mph to about the noise.

My concern is that the molding will fly off and someone will get hurt and/or sue me. Minimizing my use of the vehicle at highway speeds until this is addressed. Still waiting to hear back from JLR Corporate.
