2007 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT — Complaint #640009
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about CHILD SEAT:TETHER: CONNECTOR/CLIP filed September 25, 2007
NHTSA complaint #640009 (ODI reference 10204085) concerns a 2007 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT and was filed on September 25, 2007. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 24, 2007. The report was geocoded to New Jersey based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as child seat:tether: connector/clip, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT cohort independently describe similar child seat:tether: connector/clip failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2007 LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER SPORT shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
