Component(s): latches/locks/linkages on all doors: right front door latch requires slammed shut and won't open without key trapping passenger inside or fails to latch fully when closing causing the door to "bounce" back off the door seals.---rear door lock requires key----driver door key broke off inside. Despite my vehicle being a 1996 land rover discovery with only one previous owner, dealer claims my VIN# is not included in recall for door latch repairs substantiated by previous complaints submitted for my year/make/model, so please re-open investigation to include all 1996 land rover discovery VIN#s: similar the federal safety agency complaint #s= 605132, 823508, 983887, 508953, pe96060, 603247, 602621, 603962.
