2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Technical Service Bulletins

710 technical service bulletins (TSBs) are on record for the 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport. TSBs are notes manufacturers send to dealers about repair procedures for issues seen in the field. They are not recalls and do not by themselves mean a vehicle has a fault.

• 10106014Dec 11, 2015Equipment, Electrical system. "situation: the vehicle may lock with both keys in the vehicle when operating the exterior handle. Cause: this may be caused by a software issue with the remote function actuator (rfa)."
