You can never unsee it...

I was just washing my Defender and noticed the rear door latch.

Probably needs to be adjusted.

I was joking with the guys at the JLR service bay about this yesterday.

they said it’s because the defender is supposed to be a manly car.

I agreed but suggested perhaps it could be a tad larger

Upgrading your 48v battery firmware may solve this problem.

I always said that the tailgate latch looks like that because the British have a special sense of humor.

The guys over at Throttle House point this out in their review of the 2020 Defender 110. It's at the beginning, around first 40 seconds into the video.
