I have an id number 10984367 but believe the documents were not uploaded. These are important documents recognizing hilton head land rover was aware of other rear spoiler detachments other than mine. Please note service manager denied ever having heard or seen of this but service advisor bob robertson said he had just seen it a few months before. I have enclosed the document stating adhesive failure. This is extremely dangerous.
While driving on the freeway, the rear top spoiler cap flew off completely. I am aware of 4 recalls on this particular vehicle and this is one of them. I would like all 4 recalls to be fixed. Need to be contacted asap to take care of these recall issues. Thank you
