Frequently asked questions

What does the LR079173LR Seat Back Latch Release Cable do?
The LR079173LR Seat Back Latch Release Cable operates the latch that releases the front seat backrest. It connects the release handle to the seat-back latch mechanism, letting the backrest unlock and fold on the Range Rover Evoque L538 Premium seat.
Where does this cable fit and on which model?
This release cable fits inside the front seat back on the Range Rover Evoque L538 (2012-2018) Premium seat, Halewood build from VIN HH000001. It links the release handle to the backrest latch.
What are the signs this release cable needs replacing?
A failing seat back latch cable typically means the backrest won't release when you pull the handle, or the handle feels slack. Cables can stretch, fray or seize over time, which stops the latch from operating cleanly.
