Land Rover Part Number: LR085940 - Tailgate Latch
LR085940 is a Tailgate Latch. Fitted to the luggage compartment lock controls, this latch operates the tailgate locking mechanism and engages the striker when the tailgate is closed. It forms the mechanical lock for the rear tailgate, converting lock-control or manual release actions into a positive engage or release of the striker. The unit holds the tailgate closed under driving loads and allows controlled opening when a release command is given. A worn or damaged latch may fail to engage, fail to release, or produce noise during operation, all of which affect tailgate security and usability.
