What does LR072417 do?

The LR072417 tailgate latch is the mechanical locking unit mounted in the tailgate that interacts with the tailgate striker on the vehicle body. It engages and retains the tailgate in the closed position and releases the striker when the latch is actuated by the interior or exterior handle or by the vehicle lock actuation. The latch is designed to sit within the luggage compartment lock controls and to work with the tailgate striker and surrounding seals to maintain a secure closure and to minimise vibration or rattle while driving. Damage from impact, corrosion or wear can impair latch operation and lead to failure to latch or difficulty releasing the tailgate. When replacing the latch, match the part number and model compatibility to the vehicle to ensure correct fitment and alignment with the striker and lock control linkages.
